"Tsk tsk, you truly are a being comparable to a Core Formation cultivator! You have made this old Rakshasa Ancestor look at you with new respect!"
An old man's voice came, and then an old man in hemp clothing appeared.
Lu Xuan looked over and found that the man had a peculiar appearance. His face was covered with pockmarks, and he had two small braids. He also had a bronze crown on his head and was dressed in hemp clothing, which made him look very simple and ordinary.
The age and appearance of cultivators are not actually real.
Just like the Rakshasa Ancestor before him, Lu Xuan determined that the other party was no less than three hundred years old.
"Are you the Rakshasa Ancestor?"
The old man in hemp clothing with a small braid nodded and said politely to Lu Xuan:
"Young friend, you are at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, yet you can activate a magic weapon. Your magical power must be immense, at least equivalent to an early Core Formation cultivator!"
Although Ancestor Luo Sha was at the peak of the early Core Formation stage and had been at the Core Formation stage for over a hundred years, he always felt as if he had encountered a cultivator of the same realm when facing Lu Xuan.
"Hmm, what Senior said is pretty much true!" Lu Xuan said, then asked again.
"Ancestor Rakshasa, you are a senior, could it be that you also went to great lengths to follow me, all for the sake of this Giant Ape Island?"
What connection does the other party have with Yujia Island?
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's question, Ancestor Rakshasa first asked with a calm expression:
"May I ask which sect you belong to, young friend? Or which Nascent Soul disciple you are from?" Ancestor Rakshasa probed Lu Xuan's background.
Seeing this, Lu Xuan said without ceremony:
"Senior, you're asking a lot of questions! How about we talk about Giant Ape Island first?"
Seeing this, Ancestor Rakshasa gave Lu Xuan an awkward smile and said:
"Hehe, young friend, you are clever and quick-witted. I am truly ashamed of my own inferiority. Since you are not a cultivator from a nearby island, it is normal that you do not know about our situation here!"
Raksha Ancestor said:
There are two major cultivation forces in our Moon God Sea! They are the righteous Moon God Palace and the demonic Demon Luo Sect!
The Moon Goddess Temple and the Demon Luo Sect are evenly matched in strength! Both have a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator among them!
"Young friend, as you probably know, in our Moon Goddess Sea Region, besides the righteous cultivators led by the Moon Goddess Palace, there are also the demonic cultivators led by the Demon Luo Sect!"
"And I, the old Rakshasa Ancestor, am from the Demon Luo Sect, and I am a disciple of Yinmo Shangren, one of the Nascent Soul Elders of the Demon Luo Sect."
It turned out that this Rakshasa Ancestor mistakenly thought that Lu Xuan was also a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator, which is why he didn't want to fight Lu Xuan and offend him.
Furthermore, given his strength, it seems unlikely that he could keep Lu Xuan.
If Lu Xuan knew what he was thinking, he would probably burst out laughing!
It's not just that they can't stay.
If Lu Xuan were to unleash all of his Devouring Demonic Insects and use every trick in the book, this Demonic Core Formation cultivator, Ancestor Rakshasa, would likely be left without even a trace.
"Hmm, what does this have to do with Giant Ape Island?"
Rakshasa Ancestor waved his hand and said:
"Young friend, don't be impatient, let me tell you slowly: In ancient times, this Giant Ape Island was also the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul elder of our demonic path. I heard that it contains a Nascent Soul level demonic inheritance and a guardian spirit beast!"
The legacy of demonic cultivation?
Lu Xuan has always focused on the True Essence Technique of the righteous path, and he doesn't really have much interest in demonic techniques and secret arts.
However, Lu Xuan did not want to miss out on the inheritance of the Nascent Soul stage. It was better than nothing. He could refer to the secrets of the Great Dao to deduce the shortcomings of his orthodox cultivation methods.
Furthermore, one can also try to cultivate the demonic techniques within.
"It's that golden-haired giant ape!" Lu Xuan subconsciously recalled. Of course, he had already guessed it. Hearing that there was an ancient cultivator's cave here, he knew that this was a guardian spirit beast.
Ancestor Rakshasa nodded and said:
"This beast is merely a descendant of the Golden Armored Giant Ape, a true peak-level third-tier demonic beast from back then! After several generations of reproduction, its strength is now only at the peak of the second tier!"
Actually, the most difficult thing isn't this peak second-tier golden-haired giant ape. With my strength, dealing with this giant ape, although it will take some effort, is still a sure thing for me.
"Could there be some kind of formation, restriction, or puppet beast inside?" Lu Xuan, with his rich experience in cultivation, asked in a series of questions.
Raksha Ancestor then said:
"At first, I thought the same as you, young friend, but I later learned that there is a secret technique of our Demon Luo Sect, the Demon Soul Explosion Array, inside this cave!"
"Back then, this Nascent Soul Demonic Elder left behind a fragment of his soul! He set up a Demonic Soul Explosion Formation!"
Only if we demonic cultivators enter can we prevent the detonation of all the formations within this cave! However, the secret incantation to dispel these formations has long been lost! Therefore, we cannot enter the treasure-filled area inside the cave!
After listening, Lu Xuan asked Ancestor Luo Sha:
"Senior, do you also have no solution? You are a cultivator in the early stage of the Core Formation stage of the Demonic Path. What secret techniques haven't you heard of? Is it possible that Ancestor Luo Sha is deliberately hiding your abilities?"
Lu Xuan naturally wouldn't believe Luo Sha Ancestor's words. If that were the case, Lu Xuan wouldn't mind having a match with him.
With his strength, he is very confident that he can kill the Rakshasa Ancestor.
What Lu Xuan feared most was the other party's master, Yin Mo Shangren, a mid-Nascent Soul elder of the Demon Luo Sect.
Seeing Lu Xuan's attitude, Ancestor Rakshasa had no choice but to explain his predicament:
"It's not that I'm deliberately deceiving you, young friend. To break this formation, you need the legendary Devouring Demon Worm!"
Raksha Ancestor continued:
"This demonic insect is one of the strongest ancient demonic insects in our Endless Sea cultivation world. If there are enough of them, they can definitely dominate the cultivation world. Back in ancient times, they caused the legendary demonic insect calamity!"
The Calamity of Demonic Insects? Lu Xuan had only been in the Endless Sea cultivation world for a short time and had never actually heard of this ancient legend.
Rakshasa Ancestor thought for a moment and said:
"It's normal that you haven't heard of this since you're only at the Foundation Establishment stage. I only learned about it many years after I advanced to the Core Formation stage."
"Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, there was a Core Formation stage insect cultivator named Devouring Master! This person had several thousand Core Formation stage Devouring Demon Insects, and he could even kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator!"
And so, with these Devouring Demonic Insects, this Devouring Master's strength became comparable to that of a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator! He enjoyed a period of great success in the cultivation world of the Endless Sea for decades.
Later, this person offended a powerful sect! He was besieged by several mid-Nascent Soul cultivators and unfortunately perished. After that, the legacy of the Devouring Demon Worm almost disappeared!
"And this Devouring Demon Worm can easily break through this Demon Soul Burst Formation. The principle is very simple: the Devouring Demon Worm can directly break through the formation and enter."
Because it's all demonic energy, the demonic soul won't immediately sense it. It can instantly activate the Devouring Demonic Worm to devour and refine the demonic soul, leaving all the formations within the cave without a controller!
It doesn't sound too complicated.
"Unfortunately, I, Lu, do not possess the Devouring Demonic Insect you mentioned. How could a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like myself possibly have such a rare treasure? Senior Luo Sha, it seems we have no choice but to give up."
Upon hearing Lu Xuan's words, Ancestor Rakshasa also praised him:
"The treasure is right in front of me, yet I cannot obtain it. This truly makes my heart itch with longing. Very well, I shall take my leave and go search for the whereabouts of the Devouring Demon Insect. Or perhaps when I advance to the late stage of Core Formation, I will be confident in taking over this cave!"
