Looking at the altar that shone with starlight, Hou Wang's eyes immediately revealed a hint of excitement. This was exactly what he had been pursuing. On the Continent of Light, it was too difficult to reach the Refinement God Realm step by step.
In contrast, the Ancient Path to Immortality, even though it requires venturing into the endless and dangerous void, brings him much closer to the Immortal Realm.
"We can't hold back any longer. Even if we don't fight these humans, we must lead the demons to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Otherwise, what will we use to make a deal with those old fogies?"
The black shadowy figure spoke in a seductive voice. As soon as it finished speaking, the Hou King slashed out with its claw, instantly sending the figure flying and crashing into the wall with a cry of pain.
"You're insane!"
The black shadowy figure cursed angrily, but its aura was constantly receding, ready to escape at any moment.
"If I find you attempting to sow discord again, regardless of which side you're on, I will have only one word for you: kill!"
The Hou King spoke coldly, then sat cross-legged on the spot. Golden energy surged into his body as he used the mountain energy of Chunshan to cultivate and recover from his injuries.
...
Three days later, Zhuang Qingqian returned to Chuncheng with a serious expression, leading everyone back to the sect. He remained silent on the way, seemingly lost in thought.
"Master, how are the negotiations going?"
Gu Yifeng didn't care about Zhuang Qingqian's feelings and asked directly.
"This is bad. I went to ask the Ancestor to come out of seclusion. We have already negotiated with the Hou King. He said that he can give up attacking Spring Mountain City, but he asks us to clear the way for them so that the Hou King can lead the demons all the way to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest."
Zhuang Qingqian shook his head. This request was undoubtedly a bit difficult for Changchun Valley. After all, there were often frictions between the human race and the demon race. The Wan Yao Forest was at least two or three cities away from Chunshan.
Moreover, the Hou King demanded that they depart no later than half a month later, which would be insufficient time to communicate with all the human races along the way.
"What if we use spatial teleportation? As long as we construct a short-term teleportation array, we can minimize the impact of this matter. All we need to do is communicate with the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest."
Gu Yifeng spoke slowly, after all, Changchun Valley was the number one sect in Youzhou. The inner sect had a group of Taixu Realm disciples, plus two Hedao Realm disciples, enough to open up a medium-sized space teleportation array.
"That's acceptable. But who will go and communicate with the Ten Thousand Demon Forest?"
Zhuang Qingqian sighed, and Xuan Che and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this. They exchanged a glance with Gu Yifeng and immediately came in front of him to show themselves.
“Valley Master, we have been sending Gu Yi to the sect and have been consuming the sect’s resources these past few days. It is time for us to lend a hand.”
Xuan Che chuckled and said to Zhuang Qingqian, while the other three nodded in agreement.
The Four Extremes region holds a significance that is unmatched by ordinary demons. With Xuan Che and his three companions present, they are more than capable of persuading the demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest to agree to construct a teleportation array.
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Qingqian said no more. He glanced at Gu Yifeng briefly and then decided to have Gu Yifeng and the other three set off for the Ten Thousand Demon Forest immediately.
Gu Yifeng immediately took out the Wuji Immortal Boat. The group boarded the boat, bid farewell to Zhuang Qingqian, and instantly turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the spot.
Within Youzhou, the Wuji Immortal Ship only needs two or three days to reach its destination. If spatial travel is activated, the time can be even shorter. He currently has enough spirit stones, so he can directly maximize the speed of the immortal ship.
In just a day and a half, the group arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.
Outside a dense forest, a huge black stone tablet stands, inscribed with the three characters "Ten Thousand Demon Forest". Behind the tablet are four more characters: "Trespassers shall die".
The group exchanged glances and decided to investigate first. After all, none of the four of them had been to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Although the Four Extremes Lands were of great importance, they had little interaction with the demon race.
The group set up a cave dwelling outside the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Gu Yifeng sat down cross-legged and began signing in for the day.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in. The check-in location has been detected as: Ten Thousand Demon Forest. You have received the reward: Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Body."
The system voice sounded, and then a power of law emerged from Gu Yifeng's body, injecting a special power. After about half a moment, a violent demonic aura surged out instantly.
A burst of red light erupted from Gu Yifeng's eyes, his internal energy surged, the strength of his meridians increased dramatically, and his physical strength and speed were greatly enhanced.
This is the strongest physique of the demon race, the Myriad Demon Saint Body, which can maximize the effect of demonic energy. During daily cultivation, it can store demonic energy in its physical body, and during battle, it can instantly activate demonic energy, filling every cell of its body.
When stimulated and invaded by demonic energy, the strength of the physical body can be directly increased by up to two times.
Gu Yifeng opened his eyes wide and unleashed his Myriad Demon Saint Body. His demonic energy exploded, instantly causing thousands of demonic shadows to appear. The myriad demons soared into the sky, their demonic energy blotting out the heavens. This extraordinary phenomenon immediately shook the entire Myriad Demon Forest.
"The Divine Body of Ten Thousand Demons has been born! Whose prodigy has awakened!"
In the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, an old man's shout rang out, and then a white-haired old man with a cane was seen running towards the location of Ancient Peak.
"Condense!"
Gu Yifeng hovered in mid-air, watching the surging demon horde from the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. He uttered a single word, and the next moment, a powerful demon figure materialized behind him, protecting him.
This is the second powerful aspect of the Myriad Demon Sacred Body: as long as one cultivates or comes into contact with it, one can condense a great demon form with demonic energy to automatically protect its master.
A Hou King appeared on the spot and immediately blocked the demons.
"Who are you? I do not recall your name among the demon race. Where did you come from with this Myriad Demon Saint Body?"
Upon seeing Gu Yifeng, the old man's joy vanished instantly, and he looked at Gu Yifeng with some disappointment and asked.
"Don't you recognize him? Don't you recognize us?"
Xuan Che and the other three slowly walked out. The incident happened suddenly. They did not expect that Gu Yifeng could cause such a big commotion just by cultivating. The four of them activated their bloodline power at the same time.
Four illusory figures—a wooden dragon, a black tortoise, a white tiger, and a vermilion bird—appeared simultaneously, guarding him.
As the four figures appeared, the white-haired old man finally lowered his guard.
"So you are a junior from the Four Extremes. In that case, please come with me into the forest for a chat. I am He Kongshan, the current Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, and my original form was a member of the Crane Clan."
The old man gave a brief introduction and then led the group into the forest. The other demons, though curious, did not want to disturb the elder and could only walk around and watch.
After all, no outsiders have come to the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons for a long time.
Gu Yifeng put away the Myriad Demon Saint Body and immediately followed behind into the Myriad Demon Forest.
Upon entering the council hall, He Kongshan immediately focused his gaze on Mu Feiran. According to the usual practice of the Four Extreme Lands, Qinglong Island was the leader in discussing important matters.
“Senior, there’s no need to look at me. This is our elder brother, the current young master of the Xuanwu lineage, who also possesses the power of various races from the Four Extremes. Brother Gu, why don’t you speak?”
Mu Feiran smiled slightly, then looked at Gu Yifeng.
