Historical records indicate that in the year 3102 of the Tianyuan era of the Great Liang Dynasty and the year 2210 of the Zhengde era of the Great Yan Dynasty, countless towering mountain ranges suddenly appeared in various places under the rule of the two countries. The mountain ranges exuded rich spiritual energy, and both the human and demon races were mobilized. After occupying the mountain ranges, they suspended the war.
In the same year, the evil cultivator clan's conspiracy was exposed. They had instigated a bloody war between the human and demon races for many years by inciting faith in the human race. They hid all the large jade spirit stone mines in the world and suppressed the normal cultivation of both races. Their crimes were heinous. They were honored by the gods as evil cultivators. They destroyed the golden statues of gods worshipped in the human world, and the human world no longer believed in gods.
Humans and demons made peace and jointly established universal laws, officially ushering in an era of peace that lasted for tens of thousands of years.
Humans have the orthodox cultivation path of the Immortal Sect, while the Demon Sect established its own sect within a few years, also with its own orthodox cultivation methods.
However, where there is justice, there is also evil. Regardless of whether they are human or demon, they are all pursued by the law enforcement faction. In order to prevent their own kind from bending the law for personal gain, it was established that humans would hunt down evil demons, and demons would hunt down evil humans.
Among the human race, General Zhang Shourong, the Demon Suppressor, is the most renowned, while among the demon race, King Taba Yu is the leader.
Of course, that's a story for later. At this point, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing had not yet left this strange world.
It's not just that they don't want to leave for the time being, but also that the world consciousness has proposed an exchange.
You can leave if you want, but you can exchange Jade Spirit Stones for a cultivation manual for the demon race.
The two landed on a mountain range that had returned to its original location. They rested there for a few days and took the jade spirit stones that the world consciousness wanted to give them. They didn't even need to dig them up; they just placed them on the stone steps, making it clear that they were for them.
At this moment, Rong Yi only had one insect crystal left. After resolving the conditions for exchanging world consciousness and absorbing the last insect crystal, she would leave. At that time, her strength would be able to increase to around the tenth level.
However, not long after, other movements occurred on the mountain. In recent days, apart from some wild animals occupying their territory in the mountain, no humans or demons have been seen.
Several demons arrived today, and their strength is quite high, all around the ninth rank.
Rong Yi stopped absorbing the insect crystals and, together with Wei Yanqing, met the monsters that were climbing the mountain.
"They are human."
Demons generally have excellent eyesight and sense of smell. They can smell the scent of non-demons from afar, and upon closer inspection, they realize it is a human. Could it be that we are too late this time?
High-level transformed demons do not possess demonic characteristics and look almost identical to humans.
Upon approaching, the demon at the front raised its hands and clasped its fists, saying, "May I ask which sect of the human race you are a disciple of? We have come here to occupy the mine, so why don't we split it equally?"
With such abundant spiritual energy and vast mountain ranges, this place must be a super-large mine that the demon race cannot afford to give up.
Rong Yi raised an eyebrow, "No sect or faction, and you're already heading down the mountain? What kind of demon race are you?"
The cultivation manuals for the demon race must be given, but they cannot be given out indiscriminately.
Upon hearing that the two were going down the mountain, the demons were overjoyed. Then this mine would belong to the demon race!
"I am from the Jinlin Python Clan."
"I am a member of the Flying Fox Clan."
"The Cold Moon Butterfly Clan".
The demons possessed pure auras, untainted by bloodlust, suggesting they had focused on cultivation and had not taken the path of cannibalism.
This is why Rong Yi asked the question.
They exchanged a glance, both quite satisfied.
At this moment, Wei Yanqing said to the demons, "We need the help of the demon race for something. Of course, we will offer a reward. I wonder if you would consider accepting the offer?"
The fox clan member didn't quite believe what they said and opened his mouth to ask a question, but was stopped by the python clan member next to him.
The butterfly demon nodded: "As long as it doesn't involve harming my demon race, of course we can consider it."
Rong Yi smiled, "Of course it won't harm the demon race; in fact, it will greatly benefit them."
·
Apart from the towns and villages ruled by humans, the surrounding area is jointly governed by the python, fox, and butterfly races. The ancestors of the three races all believe that eating people is not a way to obtain higher-level strength, and that only by finding the right path to cultivation can one attain the Great Dao.
The three demons, who shared the same ideals, gathered together and found this land to live and rest together.
Guided by the world's consciousness, Rong Yi encountered the demons of these three races.
Upon arriving at their destination, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing found that the demons there possessed pure auras, instantly realizing that they were chosen by the world's consciousness.
Upon seeing his elder, the young python clan leader immediately said, "Father, we have already occupied the mountain range thirty miles to the south. I think we can move our clan there."
The python demon, who looked like a middle-aged man, patted the child on the shoulder. "Well done, but why bring back two humans?"
The python-tribe youth whispered about what had happened in the mountains, and the great demon immediately welcomed their arrival.
These past few days, the three patriarchs have been saying that a great opportunity is about to come for the three races. When the great demon saw the two, he felt something in his heart and realized that the opportunity might lie with these two humans.
Most of the demons from the three races lived in treehouses, and Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing were invited to the largest treehouse.
"These are wild tea leaves that I picked myself. I hope you two won't find them too bad."
Rong Yi curiously held up his teacup and smelled it, while Wei Yanqing went straight to the point, "Actually, the favor I need is this."
With a wave of his hand, he released the tree spirit that had been in the storage compartment.
As soon as the tree spirit emerged and saw the hall full of powerful demons, it shuddered and hid behind the two of them.
Wei Yanqing continued, "This is a tree spirit we helped in the capital. Because of its special original form, we were worried that it would be devoured by other demons if it was captured. So we took it in. Now that we are leaving, we thought that it could not stay with us forever. Seeing that the descendants of the three clans have pure auras, we had the idea of letting this tree spirit settle here."
The powerful python demon was able to tell at a glance that the tree demon was a plant demon with medicinal value, and that it would indeed be easy to eat it if it was captured.
The tree spirit looked back and forth at the group of demons and the two people, and could tell that these demons were not bloodthirsty.
The great demon laughed heartily, "So that's what it was about. It's not really about helping. This little demon is of the same demon race as us, so he can settle here. Besides, there are other flower demons in our territory, so I think he can get along with this tree demon."
Upon hearing that there were also plant spirits here, the tree spirit was overjoyed and looked at the two with grateful eyes, feeling a surge of warmth that it didn't know where to begin.
Rong Yi sipped his tea and saw that the tree demon's eyes were red and she was about to cry. "Why are you crying? It's fine here. We may never return to this world after we leave. It's good that you're here."
The tree spirit rubbed its eyes. "Thank you both, my benefactors. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will do my utmost."
The tree spirit followed the other demons out of the treehouse, and Wei Yanqing took out a booklet suitable for demon cultivation, saying, "This is a token of my gratitude; I hope you will accept it."
The great demon sensed profound Daoist wisdom in those books.
So this is the opportunity our ancestors mentioned.
...
"Father, they're leaving so soon. Aren't they going to stay and rest for the night?" the python clan boy asked, watching Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing's departing figures.
The great demon sighed, "Having done what I had to do, I naturally want to leave. Has that tree demon made the arrangements?"
The boy nodded. "It's all arranged. It's right next to the Rose Fairy's."
"Yes, we must treat them well; we owe them a great debt of gratitude."
Unbeknownst to the father and son, ten thousand years later, the tree demon grew into a powerful force, turning the tide when the three races faced a great crisis. Its branches and leaves were sacred objects of the demon race, capable of curing any injury or illness and enhancing cultivation potential.
The next two dungeons are purely resource-based worlds with little story. Then it's time to finish this one and start the next. I need to save up some chapters!!
