Exploring Immortality Cultivation

The Immortal Alliance still regularly releases the Emperor's Liquid into the water channels!?

Wang Qi and the other two felt a chill.

The Emperor's Liquid, a holy medicine of the Demon Clan, one drop awakens the spirit, transcending the mundane, nine drops communicate with the divine, with endless marvelous uses.

The continuous diffusion of the Emperor's Liquid by the Immortal Alliance in Fusang would only result in demons everywhere in Fusang!

Wang Qi and Huangfu Lian unsheathed their swords simultaneously, vigilant of their surroundings. Wu Chengdao, acting like an old hand, glanced sideways at the two and asked quizzically, "What are you doing?"

"Wild demon beasts must not be disregarded," Huangfu Lian inhaled deeply, spreading his Spiritual Sense. Wu Chengdao then found it strange, "Why guard against wild demon beasts? Oh, right, I almost forgot, the native land of Shenzhou is quite different from Fusang."

"Different? Are the demon beasts of Fusang exceptionally gentle?"

The Demon Clan that slaughtered so many across the Shenzhou East Land centuries ago, forcing Elder Ji Turing to stay in Fusang?

Wu Chengdao shook his head, "Not exactly. The demon beasts of Fusang might do anything, but the one thing they won't do is attack the Human Clan, because the spreading of the Emperor's Liquid is done by humans."

Wang Qi was baffled, "What kind of logic is that?"

"Isn't this basic Demon Clan study? Don't they test this in the common entry trials anymore? I remember it was a key question the year I entered." Wu Chengdao seemed a bit discontent, "For the Demon Clan, the Innate Master who helps them awaken their spirit is absolutely beyond betrayal."

The Demon Clan does not place much importance on ancestry. With the power of the Transformation Divine Skills capable of directly altering genetic expression, bypassing bloodline restrictions, reproductive barriers can easily be broken. Furthermore, not all members of the Demon Clan have the instinct to care for their young. In the eyes of the Demon Clan, parents are merely "relatives who happen to share a blood relation."

Teachers, however, are the true elders, the true family.

Among them, those who help the Demon Clan awaken their spirits are called Innate Masters, and those who educate the Demon Clan after their Spirit Awakening are known as Postnatal Masters. Both are beings that cannot be betrayed or disrespected. Conversely, within the Ancient Demon Clan, the status of "biological offspring" is barely higher than that of pets, whereas the "disciples" that they personally awaken and educate are considered the real "heirs" and "successors."

As half-demons possess half of the Human Clan's bloodline in their bodies, they innately possess Spirit Wisdom and thus their notions lean more towards those of the Human Clan.

"Because the Human Clan regularly releases an imitation of the Emperor's Liquid, the Fusang Demon species have become very friendly towards the Shenzhou People Clan as soon as they develop a bit of Spirit Wisdom, with some spontaneously formed small tribes even worshiping humans as Divine Spirits—Sects like the Spirit God Temple have even considered using these Demon tribes as empirical evidence to study the Divine Tao, right, I heard that last year the Yangshen Pavilion also wanted to get involved, but they have been consistently refused."

Wang Qi expressed his understanding of this. Anti-Divine Tao is the political correctness of the Immortal Alliance.

Wu Chengdao continued, "According to the Immortal Alliance's thinking, these natural Demon tribes should be left for study. The smarter ones should be educated and absorbed into the Immortal Alliance. After the local Demons of the Fusang branch reach a certain number, we can start a large-scale education—this is the adorable part about the Demon Clan, they don't have a concept of bloodline, they see no difference between their own clan, the Human Clan, and the Dragon Clan, they might even feel closer to the fully civilized humans and dragons than their own kind. With the Immortal Alliance's education, they would never betray the Immortal Alliance. I've heard that there is a similar policy in the Western Border, and in the hearts of many West Sea Demons, there is little difference between being under the rule of the Dragon Clan or the Immortal Alliance. I reckon that in two or three hundred years, this Holy Land of the Demon Clan can be transformed into a research area for the remnants of the Demon Clan under the Immortal Alliance, and our mission at the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion will have been accomplished."

Wang Qi nodded, thinking to himself, "This is the power of civilization."

Hundreds of years ago, the Fusang Demon Clan had obtained capital from the Ancient Demon Clan relics, ravaging the Shenzhou East Land with blood and fire for thousands of miles, intending to restore the glory of the Ancient Demon Clan. Who would have thought that one day they would become a power of the Immortal Alliance!

The assimilation of strong civilizations over weak ones, and the education of advanced civilizations over barbaric ignorance, is just that powerful!

Passing by the "pyramid" that served as the throne, there was a very large square, located at the intersection of two spacious avenues. However, the once flat stone pavement was now full of cracks and had become a breeding ground for vines and weeds.

In this world where an individual can possess strategic level strength, the choice to evolve the brain and let the soul radiate the light of Wisdom is not so feasible, let alone to allow Wisdom to congregate into civilization. It is imaginable that before the Shenzhou People Clan, there must have been sparks of civilization that appeared and extinguished. And these ruins are the proof that a great flame once burned here a million years ago.

After passing through the ruins, the group saw a strange cluster of buildings. Bronze-colored columns stood on the ground like decorations, and the ground itself had a metallic sheen, even the buildings were made of bronze instead of the stone remnants of Demon buildings. There, all pedestrians rode on Mechanical Beasts. In an instant, Wang Qi felt as though he had leaped from a magic-modified Stone Age to a sci-fi Bronze Age.

The drastic change in style was a bit overwhelming for Wang Qi.

Mo Zhenzhen and Huangfu Lian were even more focused on the architecture here. This was already the outer area of the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, which theoretically should have been built after the Pavilion moved here. But for some reason, the architectural style here was completely different from that of Shenzhou. Especially those inexplicable columns, there was no such decoration on the Shenzhou Continent.

After Mo Zhenzhen asked Wu Chengdao about this, he explained, "Previously, the Fusang Demon Clan claimed to be the remnants of the Ancient Relic and the legitimate Orthodox Demon Sect because they resided in this area and enjoyed the benefits of the ruins. We directly modified part of the ruins, so in the eyes of the newly born Demons, the relics and the Human Clan are one and the same—don't ask me why, I also do not understand the Demon's way of thinking. So the actual style of this cluster of buildings is a restoration of the Ancient Demon Clan Civilization."

As soon as the eight-legged Mechanical Beast stepped onto the metallic ground, it automatically stopped and began to transform. Its body lowered, shifting its center of gravity downward. Wu Chengdao threw a new device on each side. As soon as the two new devices connected with the Mechanical Beast, wheels popped out, turning the Mechanical Beast into a vehicle. The eight-legged form was useful for complex terrain, but quite ordinary on flat ground. Driving the mechanical vehicle, Wu Chengdao looked as if he was driving a sports car on Earth, speeding wildly on the metallic road. Wang Qi and the others even felt a strong pushback. Huangfu Lian yelled anxiously, "This speed is already beyond what those at the Foundation Establishment Stage can react to! There are other people on these streets!"

"What's there to be afraid of! Those columns, although they are replicas of the Demon Clan's Array Pillars, we completely replaced them with calculators when we recast them. Here, all mechanisms can move automatically! This is the place with the highest degree of automation in Shenzhou!"

Amidst Wu Chengdao's wild laughter, the mechanical vehicle raced away! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
