This time, those Nascent Soul Great Cultivators entered and didn't get the most core treasure, but not only did he obtain it, he might also have the chance to take over the entire Cave Mansion; it's only natural for people to bear grudges against him.

"Hmm, I see you managed the art of staying low quite well. You were hiding quite deeply before, I didn't even notice at first, must have cultivated a rather sophisticated Breath Concealment Technique."

Danqing remarked approvingly.

Shen Wang felt a slight joy in his heart, it seemed the other party hadn't completely seen through him, but rather inferred from his actions.

This means, as long as his strength is high enough, he can still keep his secrets in front of the others.

He cupped his hands towards Liu Danqing: "Senior, then I'll leave first, pretending to be like the others."

"Wait, put that Ten Thousand Year Water and Fire Spiritual Peach back, it's prone to die with you."

Danqing reminded: "You can now freely enter and exit this Cave Mansion, feel free to come back for materials whenever you want."

"True, then I'll trouble Senior to send me over."

Shen Wang found this reasonable, although he had forcefully dug up that Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood, he indeed had no way to ensure its survival.

Previously, he planned to use it as a material, akin to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; now, nurturing it like a hen is naturally best.

"Alright."

With a wave of Danqing's hand, a fluctuation appeared in front of Shen Wang, creating a portal that directly led to Peach Garden.

Shen Wang walked over, arriving at the large pit created by the uprooting of the tree, using the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror, he took the Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood out and placed it back in the pit.

Danqing controlled the array, the earth moved, re-burying the peach wood, which came back to life, re-rooting itself here.

Shen Wang mused: "This Ten Thousand Year Peach Wood has gained some spirituality too."

"Not much. Everything in heaven and earth wants to gain wisdom, but without contact with intelligent beings, it can only have some instincts."

Danqing shook his head: "Just like me, without the influence of my master, I wouldn't have the wisdom I possess now."

"I see, it's much like children; wolf children and normal kids indeed differ greatly."

Shen Wang came to a realization, these plants and elixirs forming spirits are akin to newborn infants, perhaps even less, needing the influence of intelligent beings.

Without overthinking, he said: "Once I've entered the fundamental stage of my cultivation technique, I'll return for a proper exploration of the Cave Mansion."

The permissions within this Cave Mansion are divided into several stages, all related to the progress of his cultivation technique. Entering the fundamentals, achieving Minor Success, and Great Success all have different permissions; it seems to be a well-arranged motivation mechanism.

"Wait, before you leave, let me show you a special gift, which I prepared specifically for you."

Danqing smiled profoundly once more.

"A gift?"

Shen Wang was curious. In his view, even without full control of the Cave Mansion, the pills he just received could count as a nice gift, as they are very precious, made from a variety of long-aged medicinal herbs.

"You'll see it soon."

Danqing raised a hand, and within the spatial fluctuations, a gray-black kitten appeared.

Its eyes were large, resembling yellow crystals, very beautiful, but its gaze was resigned and complex, filled with anger and reluctance, yet also a sense of forced compliance.

Shen Wang suspiciously glanced at the kitten: "You Huang!"

He had fought this Demon Emperor in two battles, how could he not recognize its gaze; he just didn't expect this Demon Emperor would end up like this.

"Meow."

The little cat meowed weakly, its expression disgruntled.

"This is the cat you fought with, I controlled it, and it became the guardian spirit beast of this Cave Mansion, readily taking your orders. You can activate the Flowing Light Seal's power to control it."

Danqing smiled.

Shen Wang's eyes lit up, looking at the kitten with a smirk: "I said, how could you react so strongly to failing the test, turns out failing turns you into a slave."

Saying this, he deliberately walked over and patted the cat's head, the latter baring its teeth in anger.

As a Demon Emperor, when has it ever suffered such humiliation?

"Meow meow meow."

The kitten shrieked, clearly cursing.

"It used a secret technique to stimulate potential, expending a lot of primordial qi, and was forcibly subdued and reverted to its original form. Now its power is sealed, no different from a regular cat."

Danqing explained.

"Heh heh, good, having this creature watch me, now it's its turn today."

Shen Wang was even happier, giving it a vigorous pat.

The latter tried to scratch Shen Wang in anger, but unfortunately, it had little strength at the moment, and its claws couldn't harm the body that was as tough as a top-grade magical artifact.

"Why the rush, even if you're at your peak now, it'll be hard to kill me."

Shen Wang chuckled, having absorbed the Five Elements Origin and undergone transformation, his foundation was much deeper now.

Even if fighting You Huang again, this time he might not need array talismans for assistance.

Unable to do anything to Shen Wang, You Huang could only turn and try to flee, but after trying for a while without breaking free from Shen Wang's grasp, it stopped dejectedly, becoming a pet cat under his control.

"Feels nice to touch, after all, it's a Demon Emperor-level cat."

Shen Wang muttered, intentionally doing this to vent some anger.

After all, he had been pressured by this You Huang before, expending many of his talismans and arrays. Not to mention the waste of resources, just being pressed under its thumb left him with much frustration.

Now that he's vented his anger, Shen Wang felt a lot more refreshed, his thoughts clearer, and his source of mental strength seemed slightly enhanced.

He then activated the Flowing Light Seal, a colorful power emitted from his brow, landing on You Huang's head. It immediately showed a pained expression, with a talisman seal appearing on its brow, connecting with the colorful light.

Shen Wang immediately felt the kitten's situation through the Flowing Light Seal, able to control it through the imprint, the corners of his mouth lifted: "Come on, Little Youyou, give me a roll."
