Cultivation: Being Immortal-Chapter 437:
Wilderness, Demon God Temple
"When the sky shows danger, the stars move. When the earth shows danger, dragons and snakes will rise. When people show danger, the world will change."
"Haha, this means that my Sky Python clan also has the chance to transform from a snake to a dragon."
"If even bugs can become dragons, then what is my true dragon clan?"
"You are just a mixed-blood dragon, nothing special."
A group of Wilderness Demon Emperors were all holding a jade slip provided by the Peng Bird Demon Emperor. The phrase "When the sky shows danger" deeply resonated with the Demon Emperors, making them inexplicably excited.
"Stop arguing, let’s listen to what the Phoenix Demon Emperor has to say."
The Peng Bird Demon Emperor spoke up, saying that the demon clan has always been divided due to deep-seated hatred among different species. Without unity under the Demon Emperors, the demon clan would be scattered like sand.
"There are changes in the world, this is a consensus among our demon clan. The demons have been dormant for tens of thousands of years. It is time for a new Demon Emperor to emerge. Since there have been strange individuals appearing in the human clan, we demons cannot fall behind. The training program for the Demon Emperors will be advanced. After their training this time, we will immediately begin the inheritance of the Demon God Temple to nurture the next Demon Emperor."
The Phoenix Demon Emperor spoke up, saying that the sudden turmoil among the demonic clan was not without reason. They, the Demon Emperors, also sensed the changes in the world.
They were closely watching the humans, especially one named Yang Luo, who possessed talents in Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation like the Green Emperor. Thankfully, he fell and didn’t harm the demonic clan.
Now, a mysterious and unpredictable person named Xia Qingshan has appeared, causing concern among the demonic clan about what changes he may bring to the situation. They must prepare in advance.
"The Phoenix Demon Emperor is right. We may not care about the humans, but the demonic clan must have Demon Emperors. Our lifespan is short, so we must plan early."
Another Demon Emperor spoke, noting that many Demon Emperors among them had limited lifespans, only a few thousand years. While this might seem long to humans, it is short for them. Without early planning, even true Demon Emperors may not have a chance at longevity.
"Phoenix Demon Emperor, tell us what to do. We will follow your lead."
Another Demon Emperor mentioned that the Phoenix Demon Emperor was a rare wise figure among the demonic clan, serving as the wise leader in the Demon God Temple, akin to a Grand Elder. His words carried weight.
All Demon Emperors must submit the list of Demon Emperor Seed candidates promptly. Each Demon Emperor can nominate up to three candidates, starting from the Fourth Rank. Candidates below the Fourth Rank will not be accepted.
These Demon Emperor Seeds will undergo training soon. Demon Emperors are not born from cultivation but from slaughter. During this training, they aim to disrupt the humans’ expansion.
You also need to submit resources. The talented treasures from within your territories must be regularly handed over to the Demon God Temple for the Demon Emperor Seed to consume…
"Phoenix Demon Emperor, isn’t this the way of the human race?"
"Yes, so what? The human race is stronger than us. Isn’t it right for our monster race to learn from the strong?"
"No, it’s just that the human race is currently stronger than us."
The Demon Emperor said weakly. They were already aware of the news of the battle in Qing State involving the human race, with at least eight Tao Achieving individuals falling. This is equivalent to eight Demon Emperors. Now, the human race has even fewer Tao Achieving individuals left than them.
"Don’t be careless. The human race has more potential than our monster race. Although they have fewer Demon Emperors than us at the moment, they still have a large number of Void Achieving individuals. More and more people will break through. Peng Bird Demon Emperor, you also need to update the list of skilled individuals in the human race in a timely manner."
"I understand, Phoenix Demon Emperor."
Peng Bird Demon Emperor nodded. His son-in-law’s brother was indeed very useful. The intelligence he provided was more accurate than that of other Demon Emperors, so it didn’t matter to waste some minerals.

Wilderness
In front of Yu Hailong lay a creature that looked like a unicorn, still alive. But Yu Hailong had started skinning and pulling its tendons. The creature’s cries made Yu Hailong feel strangely satisfied; he enjoyed the feeling of killing his enemies.
Some members of the Yu clan standing nearby could not bear to watch. They didn’t participate but used the excuse of vigilance, turning their faces away, unwilling to see the bloody scene.

Occasionally, they exchanged glances and understood each other’s expressions, realizing that their Ancestor Yu was becoming even more twisted.
They could actually understand this twisted mentality because they all belonged to the Yu family of the Shenmu Sect, one of the top families in the cultivation world. The Yu family held significant power within the Shenmu Sect and appeared prestigious to outsiders. However, as descendants of the Yu family, they were well aware of the hardships they faced.
Large families have their own troubles. Competition within the Yu family was intense, with each branch striving to nurture exceptional descendants. In this world, strength represented resources, power, and status. A slight difference in strength could lead to vastly different privileges.
This type of family didn’t tolerate mediocrity or laziness. If one slacked off, the family would abandon them, pushing them to the edge to fend for themselves. They would lose all the glory and riches associated with the family.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the pressure on Yu family disciples, especially Yu Hailong, was immense. He was the descendant of the Tao Achieving lineage of the Yu family, but his talent was not top-tier. His early achievement in Void Achieving was due to his unparalleled diligence and efforts to please the ancestors of the Yu family.
Under various pressures, Yu Hailong’s character became violent, enjoying killing his opponents. In a previous incident outside Tianxian City, he had the opportunity to kill Xia Qingshan with a few moves. However, his desire for slaughter allowed Xia Qingshan to curse him before dying.
"Great Uncle, there are more and more demonic auras, we need to retreat."
"Great Uncle, is it almost time?"
As time passed, the demonic beast howled, calling for reinforcements. However, the other demons saw their strong presence and didn’t dare to come over, but stronger demons would surely come later.
"Go away, don’t make a fuss. This is a Blue Scale Beast, the price of intact Blue Scale Beast fur is ten times higher than the incomplete ones."
Yu Hailong scolded, and the others dared not urge him anymore.
This time, Yu Hailong sneaked out. He caused great losses to Shenmu Sect by killing Xia Qingshan, making He family very upset. To appease He family, Yu family punished Yu Hailong, forcing him to reflect in seclusion and withholding his salary for a hundred years. However, He family was still dissatisfied privately, making a lot of sarcastic remarks. Yu Hailong, upset, sneaked out of Shenmu Sect and came to the Wilderness to vent his anger.
"Elder brother!"
Soon after, a distant roar was heard, and everyone looked up to see a strong man approaching.
"Demonic creatures!"
Everyone’s minds were suddenly filled with shock when they looked closely at the person and realized he seemed to be from the human race.
"Haha, what a blessing from above, here comes another Blue Scale Beast."
Yu Hailong laughed loudly. He had already defeated the Blue Scale Beast in his hand. Now that another one appeared, he was determined to skin it carefully without causing any damage.
"Humans, daring to kill my big brother, seeking death!"
The strong man saw that Yu Hailong had achieved Void level cultivation, but he was still fearless. He transformed into a beast form and charged towards Yu Hailong.
Before the beast could reach him, the horn on the Blue Scale Beast’s head flew towards Yu Hailong. With a swift strike, Yu Hailong clashed with the horn, causing it to rebound along with his sword.
"So strong!"
Yu Hailong couldn’t help but admire the beast’s strength. It was only at the fifth rank, yet their first clash was evenly matched.
"Uncle, more and more demonic creatures, including many Demon Kings, are surrounding us. We should leave quickly."
"Let’s go, there are many monsters here. It’s a gift from the heavens. It’s our chance to get rich. Let’s kill them."
Yu Hailong was very angry. Those Demon Kings are just at the fourth and fifth levels. It’s not that scary. He is at the Void Achieving level. If they were from the demon race at the sixth level, that would be different. Do you understand? He is very strong.
However, Yu Hailong didn’t know that those Demon Kings around them had cruel eyes filled with cleverness and cunning. They all seemed eager to try something.
"Roar…"
"Roar…"
Roars echoed, these Demon Kings were communicating in beast language. They were getting ready to hunt the humans in front of them. These talented young demons still had some friendship amongst each other as they had spent years together in the Demon God Temple. But now, with the Blue Scale Beast’s brother being killed, they had formed a united front against the humans.
"Surround and divide."
"The fifth level deals with the human Void Achieving."
"The fourth level deals with the other humans."
"Everyone don’t be afraid, the ancestor is protecting us."
Among the roars of beasts, they carried out their strategic tactics. Just like the exceptional warriors of the human race, these exceptional warriors of the demon race also have a Demon Emperor as their protector. The Demon Emperor doesn’t allow them to be killed by enemies much stronger than them. If they face opponents of equal level, the Demon Emperor will not intervene.
"Kill."
After completing their tactical deployment, a group of Demon Kings started to act. Lin Wanli and Lin Fanghua instantly attacked, revealing their true forms. They swooped down from high altitude with great wings, sending numerous wind blades ahead.
"Get lost."
With a furious roar from the Shenmu Sect, even a Fourth Order Demon King dared to attack them. Seeking death indeed.
But they soon realized something was wrong, because more and more Demon Kings appeared, many of them carrying the bloodline of divine beasts, emitting fierce and intimidating auras.
"Retreat, retreat."
Yu Hailong also realized that with so many Demon Kings bearing the bloodline of divine beasts showing up, there was a high possibility of a Demon Emperor coming to their aid. He was aware that the situation was turning dire.
"Humans, since you’re here, why not stay?"
Yu Hailong was about to leave, but he heard a voice and then a huge beast paw slapped him from the sky, causing him to fall into the midst of the Demon Kings.
"Help!"
Yu Hailong shouted and stopped trying to escape. The Demon Emperor attacked, leaving Yu Hailong no choice but to rely on his ancestors to save him.
