Wang Zheng was accidentally reborn into a parallel world where spiritual energy was recovering.
He thought he would have to cultivate diligently, but he discovered he could rely entirely on a...
The Peacock Demon King quickly pressed for more information.
"Where did this great calamity of heaven and earth come from, when will it end, and where will this calamity take place?"
Wang Zheng knew that going too far was as bad as not going far enough, so he shook his head and smiled wryly:
"I don't know either. I only learned about the above information when my father was chatting with me out of boredom."
He lived a long time. Whether he was human or demon, as he got older, he always liked to reminisce about the past. When I was a child, I listened to these stories as if they were real.
If my father hadn't told me that the world was already filled with calamity and that a great calamity was imminent, I wouldn't have entered the mortal realm this time.
As for the origin of this calamity, Father Emperor said it was merely the self-regulation of heaven and earth.
After hearing Wang Zheng's explanation, the Peacock Demon King completely accepted Wang Zheng's identity.
These racial terms, which he had never heard of before, came out of his mouth. He didn't believe they were made up.
However, he believed that Wang Zheng must have hidden a lot of information, which he would need to uncover himself over the next few days.
The thought that there was such a wonderful past in this world made the Peacock Demon King feel so insignificant for the first time, and he became even more interested in the past that had long disappeared in the river of time.
"Then what about the Buddha Mother?"
Wang Zheng chuckled.
"I do know that; my father also mentioned it when he was indignant about the Western religion."
Kong Xuan was originally the first peacock in the world, but after attaining enlightenment, he did not distinguish between Yin and Yang.
Although he was forcibly converted to the Western Sect by the Sage, with his quasi-sage strength, he didn't even submit to the Sage, so how could he submit to the followers of the Western Sect?
Driven by resentment and unabated anger, he swallowed Buddha Shakyamuni whole just as he was about to attain enlightenment, intending to kill him and disrupt the Western Religion's plans.
But things didn't go as planned; fate played a cruel trick. In the end, not only did she fail to kill the Buddha, but this very experience caused her to be separated into yin and yang, transforming her into a woman, and thus she was called the Buddha Mother.
Upon hearing of this ordeal, the Peacock Demon King was filled with resentment.
"Our ancestor was so talented and spent tens of thousands of years cultivating this Five-Colored Divine Light. What should I, his unfilial descendant, do?"
Moreover, even if one mastered this great supernatural power, it would be difficult to escape the fate of being converted. Hearing this secret story inevitably inspires awe.
Seeing the Peacock Demon King's seemingly genuine yet feigned sentiments, Wang Zheng pressed his advantage and continued:
"Has the Demon King never considered why the spiritual energy in this world has revived?"
What was the world like tens of thousands of years ago?
Throughout history, countless people have possessed extraordinary talent and brilliance, and not all of them have actually passed away; most simply chose to remain hidden from public view.
Upon hearing what Wang Zheng said, the Peacock Demon King temporarily perked up.
He considered himself a trendsetter of the times. Regardless of the ancients, he wanted to be the first in this world.
Then, the Peacock Demon King, with a serious expression, said to Wang Zheng:
"Young friend Wang Zheng, may I ask where Zhang'e Mountain is? Would I have the opportunity to meet your father and receive some guidance?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Zheng immediately tensed up.
Thinking that it would be troublesome if this demon king insisted on coming home with him, he pointed to the boundless night and said:
"Hey, it's easy to enter the world but hard to retire. I've been away from home for so many years, and I still want to go back and see it."
Does the Demon King think that my father would live in this mortal world?
Without his extraordinary cultivation, who could come and go as they pleased?
Kong Xuan immediately understood.
'This kid's hometown is actually inside the cave heaven!!!'
Startled, Kong Xuan stopped mentioning the visit and kept urging Wang Zheng to drink and eat.
However, when he saw that Wang Zheng had only been drinking and hadn't touched his chopsticks, his brows furrowed slightly.
"But the food isn't to my liking. Should I send someone to cook it again?"
Seeing the Peacock Demon King's appearance, Wang Zheng knew that the old fox had become suspicious again, and he couldn't help but feel troubled.
He dared not eat it, and even planned to bring up the idea that he was a Taoist practitioner who had already abstained from grains and only consumed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
However, upon closer examination, this explanation is simply untenable, and in the end, they can only pin their hopes on the special nature of the beast master and the data panel.
He was much more confident in himself now than before, and then he waved his hand dismissively.
"No need. No matter how you change it, the only difference will be in the concentration of spiritual energy. Anyway, I don't have much of an appetite, so let's leave it as it is."
Then, he reluctantly picked up a few pieces of the strange beast meat, put them in his mouth, and swallowed them without chewing, carefully feeling the changes in his body.
Wang Zheng waited for a long time but found nothing unusual. Apart from a few more points of spiritual energy in the data panel, he had never heard of the berserk factor. However, he did not dare to be sure and would need to confirm it further in the future.
Fearing that Kong Xuan would urge him to eat more meat, Wang Zheng put down his chopsticks and stood up.
Then Kong Xuan also cast a puzzled look at him.
Wang Zheng stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and said with a gloomy expression:
"The Demon King brought in reinforcements from overseas and insisted on keeping me for a few more days. I know the Demon King must have his own plans and is afraid that I, a half-demon with ties to humans, will reveal the information."
However, considering we are both descendants of divine beasts, I, Wang, can't help but say a few more words. Would the Demon King be willing to listen?
