"Demon, His Majesty the Demon Emperor?!"
Looking at this "demon girl", Xu Qingyao opened her mouth slightly, speaking in disbelief.
Although she was reluctant to believe it, the aura emanating from the other person made Xu Qingyao have to believe.
This girl in dragon robes with a tiger head was the Demon Emperor who ruled the Demon Court!
She... her future mentor!
"You, have you transformed??"
Xu Qingyao instantly understood why she couldn't reach the Demon Emperor for a while.
"Yes, this emperor found a way, cultivated the quality of the third-grade Transformation Grass to a quasi-immortal grade, to the extent where it could affect me. After calculating that I could survive the Transformation Tribulation, I directly consumed it," the Demon Emperor said indifferently, as if it was nothing significant.
She looked at the stunned Lin Jing and said, "But the resources to enhance the quality of the Transformation Grass, I only had one. So, next, it will still depend on your Transformation Pill to create more demons."
"Yes..." Lin Jing took a deep breath.
"Can Your Majesty in your current state... face the enemy?" he inquired.
Because this transformation outcome of the Demon Emperor, no matter how you look at it, doesn't seem successful.
"No need to worry, it's just that I cultivated the demon arts of the Divine Tiger Race, gained stronger potential, which is why I became like this. In other words, compared to the previous demon beast form, this form has stronger growth potential..."
"Just like how humans grow from infants to adults, their strength will significantly increase."
The Demon Emperor said indifferently, "So next, just rest assured and participate in the Dan Conference. Even if the Gu God of the Gu God Sect and the Corpse Emperor of the Yin Corpse Sect are attracted to you, this emperor can still make them lose a piece of flesh."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Jing felt relieved by the Demon Emperor's promise. However, could it be that the rush to transform really caused a problem... Lin Jing dared not ask.
Then, the Demon Emperor threw out a scroll: "Refine this, you should be familiar with this item."
"It also comes from the Celestial Demon Sect, named the Celestial Demon Scroll."
"After refining it, any life within a certain range that harbors intense killing intent, hostility, or malice towards you will have their Primordial Spirit image manifest on the scroll. If you personally kill the life on this image, the power of your Divine Sense will increase."
"Until you can, through Divine Sense, perceive whether the surrounding beings harbor killing intent, hostility, or malice towards you, no matter how deeply they hide it, they can't escape your Divine Sense."
"For your Longevity Body, this treasure should be quite impactful."
Lin Jing was momentarily stunned but then stored away the Celestial Demon Scroll.
"When the time comes, I will use the marks on the Celestial Demon Scroll to execute everyone inside and outside Heaven-Reaching City who harbors malice toward you. No... more accurately, I will leave them with a breath, allowing you to personally execute them to cultivate your Divine Sense."
"Since it has been said that all the spoils belong to you, naturally, their lives are also a part of the spoils."
"Prepare well."
The Demon Emperor slowly walked into the void and then in a deserted place, muttered to herself.
"As long as this Longevity Body cultivates the Celestial Demon Divine Sense Technique, he should understand that compared to the Ancient Emperor, this emperor is the true master he should follow."
After all, she herself has also cultivated this technique and can clearly sense Lin Jing's inner mind, this Longevity Body.
This person has no hostility towards demon beasts or demons and is not a racial supremacist. Instead, upon seeing herself transform into a demon, he felt more... intrigued.
Most Human Race Cultivators uphold the belief that those who are not of our race must have different minds.
Yet, perhaps because Lin Jing comes from the Beast Taming Sect, he is quite different from most Ancient Country Cultivators.
This made the Demon Emperor realize that as long as the Demon Court sincerely treats this Longevity Body, he will not have any barriers with the Demon Court due to racial differences.
Therefore, there is no need to treat Lin Jing as an outsider because of his race. As long as Lin Jing, this Human, is cultivated as the successor of the Demon Court, then the Demon Emperor is confident she can tie Lin Jing's loyalty to the Demon Court, making him willing to work for it.
Unless the Ancient Emperor marries the Ancient Country Princess to Lin Jing and takes him as a disciple, the Demon Emperor couldn't think of any reason why Lin Jing wouldn't stay in the Demon Court and return to the Ancient Country... Moreover, the Ancient Emperor would never do that, after all, compared to the value to the Demon Court, Lin Jing's value to the Ancient Country is much smaller.
"I feel like after transforming, this emperor has become smarter..." The Demon Emperor licked her paws, ready to unleash a massacre, to experiment with this demon body.
......
A few days later.
The Dan Conference... is about to open.
The venue for the Dan Conference is located in a vast alchemy land within Heaven-Reaching City, where over a hundred scattered alchemy platforms are provided for the participating Alchemists.
At that time, each participating Alchemist will need to perform alchemy at their designated alchemy platform along with everyone else!
Eventually, the Pill Sect will evaluate the value of the pills based on the order of completion.
In such a situation, the skill of the Alchemist is greatly tested, as changes in surrounding temperature, spiritual power, and even dan aroma will affect others' alchemy.
However, as long as there is no deliberate interference with others, any changes produced by normal alchemy all fall within the rules!
Even though the evaluation criterion for the Dan Conference is the efficacy of the pills, if one's alchemy is affected by some external factors, no matter how magical a new pill is prepared, the Heaven-Reaching Tower will only let them come after skill proficiency next time, treating it as insufficient basic skills.
"Where is the Longevity Body."
"Not yet seen."
At this moment, the alchemy land was already filled with Alchemists, but the vast audience was only focused on tracking Lin Jing's whereabouts.
"He's here!" Finally, after a moment, Lin Jing appeared. However, few could tell where he came from, until Lin Jing, wearing his Fire Cloud Dan attire, approached his alchemy platform and the surroundings began to stir.
"This Longevity Body really knows how to hide; from now on, keep a close eye on him." In the void, countless Void Profound Powerhouses were hidden, with Elder Leidian from the Gu God Sect keeping a close watch on the alchemy land, unable to discover where Lin Jing emerged from.
"Jiuying, your Divine Sense is stronger; lock onto him!"
"Hold back—" The Celestial Lion Ancestor, also within Heaven-Reaching City at this moment, secretly watched over the alchemy land. Although it wanted to immediately capture Lin Jing, these Demon Ancestors who entered Heaven-Reaching City were warned upon approaching the city. Naturally, they dared not stir up trouble at the Dan Conference under the Heaven-Reaching Tower's warning, lest they arbitrarily make enemies.
Many people... clearly understood that the real battle would begin after the Dan Conference.
"You... are that Longevity Body?"
Once Lin Jing stood around the alchemy platform, at his side, an alluring woman with red curly hair licked her lips, looking at Lin Jing.
"Our ancestor is very interested in you; may we meet in this city after the Dan Conference?"
Many spectators and Alchemists cast their eyes, recognizing this woman's identity as the concubine of the Celestial Fire Ancestor. This Celestial Fire Ancestor was a Void Profound Old Monster who, due to overly powerful cultivation techniques, often needed to release lust and had numerous wives and concubines. Yet it was said his end was near, and even dual cultivation lacked vigor... he had been desperately seeking ways to extend his life, to the extent of gradually going mad and using virgins among his descendants to refine rejuvenating magic pills.
Lin Jing glanced faintly at this woman, reached out his hand, and a black scroll appeared mid-air, unfurling and hovering.
The spread-out scroll contained countless images, densely packed.
"Is your ancestor on this scroll? If he is, then we can meet."
