My Master Knows It All

Previously, he thought that after consuming the Murderous Night Demon Spring, one would permanently have six or eight arms like the Murderous Night Clan.

It turns out these extra arms can be retracted.

Ruo Yun gently shook his head and said, "It has no real impact; with just a thought, I can make all six arms appear. However, suddenly gaining six arms will certainly cause a lot of discomfort, and I need time to adapt."

Cao Zhen glanced at the few torn holes on Ruo Yun's side and inwardly thought, there's no other impact except ruining clothes—it's fortunate it's Ruo Yun and not Ling Xi.

Hmm, no matter what, I can't let Ling Xi consume the Murderous Night Demon Spring, otherwise, won't she be completely taken advantage of?

"This cave should be quite concealed. Next, you should stay here to adapt to having eight arms. It's best not to go outside. The current situation is..."

Cao Zhen then recounted the existence of the Demonic Lord Qing Shi and what he was currently doing to Ruo Yun, before connecting to China Cloud to start observing the Demonic Lord Qing Shi.

He decided that from now on, he would do nothing else but observe the Demonic Lord Qing Shi.

The Demonic Lord Qing Shi continued his furious slaughter.

Cao Zhen was puzzled. Everyone would get tired. Don't you get tired?

Because he had the Chaos Qi, he could also use immortal energy, but the problem was he also got tired.

This Demonic Lord Qing Shi…

Finally, after a night of killing until dawn, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi seemed to feel fatigued and stopped killing everywhere, beginning to fly directly into the distance.

"Hmm? She didn't randomly find a cave to rest?"

Cao Zhen was mentally shaken and continued to fixate on the Demonic Lord Qing Shi.

The Demonic Lord Qing Shi flew and finally landed on a mountain.

The mountain didn't seem extraordinary; the only notable thing might be its exceptionally lush vegetation.

The Demonic Lord Qing Shi flew directly to the mountain top.

There was a pool of water at the mountaintop, and in the middle of this pool was a stretch of vacuum space, through which a nearly transparent aura gently moved, following the pool water's flow.

"Chaos Qi!"

Cao Zhen's eyes widened suddenly. There was no doubt this aura was Chaos Qi. As expected, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi had long found Chaos Qi, hence the slaughter; it should have been to make others search everywhere to find the Chaos Qi.

He didn't know who found the Chaos Qi or how it was discovered. Presumably, the one who found it was already slain by the Demonic Lord Qing Shi.

"But why, having found the Chaos Qi, did she keep it without consuming it?"

Cao Zhen recalled how the Demonic Lord Qing Shi always wanted him to enter the River of All Realms and began to speculate secretly.

"She might have discovered the Chaos Qi but couldn't easily obtain it. Perhaps, it truly requires another person to offer a sacrifice, to resonate with the Chaos Qi. Or simply, one person's Chaos Qi is insufficient; two people are needed to absorb it."

Cao Zhen's thoughts became active; the Demonic Lord Qing Shi was one person, yet he, though observing alone, could be two or three people.

After all, he mastered the art of cloning, and his clones also possessed Chaos Qi.

If he took his clone to touch the Chaos Qi, what would happen?

Since he hadn't entered the Immortal Path Domain, he naturally wasn't a match for the Demonic Lord Qing Shi. Seizing it forcibly was not an option, the only chance was to sneak there after the Demonic Lord Qing Shi left.

Cao Zhen was moved, turned to look at Ruo Yun, and whispered, "Ruo Yun, practice here first. I have some matters to handle."

With that, he quickly took off, heading towards the location of the Demonic Lord Qing Shi. Having been observing him all along, he could naturally locate the mountain where the Demonic Lord Qing Shi was.

In one night, he arrived within 20 miles of the mountain where the Demonic Lord Qing Shi was, and then stopped.

If he continued, he feared the Demonic Lord Qing Shi would notice. For now, he only needed to wait for the Demonic Lord Qing Shi to leave.

He found a place to hide and continued observing the Demonic Lord Qing Shi.

Not long after dawn, the Demonic Lord Qing Shi woke up, surrounded by many Messenger Hummingbirds.

The Demonic Lord Qing Shi quickly opened note after note to read, and after finishing all the information, she got up without hesitation and flew into the distance.

"She's gone, she finally left!"

Cao Zhen was overjoyed but kept observing the Demonic Lord Qing Shi, as he couldn't move yet. The Demonic Lord Qing Shi wasn't far enough away; he needed to wait longer.

Cao Zhen waited for two hours, and when the Demonic Lord Qing Shi had flown far enough, he interrupted the observation on China Cloud and approached the mountain.

Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, he finally couldn't resist, activated the immortal energy within, leapt, and instantly flew to the top, glancing at the pool of water.

Before getting close to the pool, he already felt the emanating Chaos Qi.

"Such a large strip of Chaos Qi; this strip of Chaos Qi is much bigger than any Chaos Qi I obtained before. It's even likely that the entire River of All Realms turned into this condition because of the power of this single Chaos Qi. How terrifying this power is!"
