The demon whose neck was locked by the jade chain was actually a big white dog.
This big dog is bigger than a human, and has thick white curly hair all over its body. What's even stranger is that it is not squatting or lying on all fours, but sitting cross-legged with its front paws seemingly making finger gestures. It looks more like a meditating monk than a dog, which is extremely strange.
At this time, the big white-haired dog was staring at Li Xiu, its eyes as black as ink, staring at Li Xiu intently.
Li Xiu moved to the left, and the big dog's eyes also turned to the left. Li Xiu moved to the right, and the big dog's eyes also turned to the right.
"It turns out that the evil spirit is locked up and unable to move. That's easy to deal with." Li Xiu found that although the big dog was staring at him, it had no intention of pouncing on him. He probably thought that the jade chain could still trap it.
"What are you looking at?" The big dog suddenly spoke in human language, which made Li Xiu slightly stunned.
"How do you know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me?" Li Xiu said to the big dog.
"I think highly of you, but you think I'm looking for death." The big dog said arrogantly.
"You are a prisoner imprisoned here, how can you have such a bad temper?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Even if I'm imprisoned, it would only take me a moment to kill you," said Big Dog.
"What you said sounds very familiar. A guy called Peerless King said the same thing to me before. Now it has to listen to my orders obediently." Li Xiu said with narrowed eyes.
"The peerless king? Which peerless king?" The big dog was slightly stunned and asked with a strange look.
Li Xiu saw that there was something going on, so he pretended to be disdainful and said, "That self-proclaimed supreme... unrivaled king... is of the same character as you."
"Bullshit, don't compare me with that idiot." The big dog looked Li Xiu up and down, and said in disbelief: "Although that idiot has no brains, it is easy for him to kill a tiny carbon-based creature like you. You are talking nonsense there. Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?"
Li Xiu knew that the big dog was still a little afraid of the great king, so he smiled and said, "No matter how powerful he is, he still has to obey my orders and dare not be disrespectful."
"Impossible! With your ability, you are far inferior to that guy outside. How can you order the Great King around?" Big Dog didn't believe Li Xiu's nonsense at all.
"It doesn't matter what I am capable of. What matters is that he insists on listening to me. What can I do?" Li Xiu looked at the big dog and said, "Who are you?"
"My name is the Great King. Has the Great King ever mentioned me?" asked the big dog.
“Your names are better than each other, but you don’t seem to have any real abilities.” Li Xiu said with a smile.
"You don't have any skills? If you didn't know the name of the Great King, you would have been dead just now." The Great King snorted coldly: "Tell me how you know the Great King. If you say even one word falsely, I will eat you alive immediately."
"Are you two brothers? How come you even have the same tone of voice? That so-called Great King also speaks in a voice as great as yours. But when he saw the sign on me, he was so scared that he insisted on becoming sworn brothers with me." Li Xiu said nonsense.
"Brand? What brand?" the Great King asked suspiciously.
“It’s nothing, I just picked up a sign by accident, on it was written something like the Position of the God of Killing…” Li Xiu said while looking at the Great Heavenly King.
"The tablet of the God of Killing...where did you pick it up...let me see it..." The Great King suddenly jumped up, stood on all fours like a real dog, stared at Li Xiu with wide eyes and said.
"Just throw it at home. Why carry it with you for no reason? It's unlucky." Li Xiu said with a smile.
The Great King's eyes rolled around, and after a while he suddenly grinned at Li Xiu: "Since you are the brother of the Great King, then we are friends. Can you take me to your house to see the brand?"
"It's just a broken sign. If you want to take it, just take it. I originally thought it was something valuable, but when I gave it to the Great King, it refused to take it no matter what." Li Xiu said.
"Hehe, it would be strange if it dares to take it... ahem... what's your name, brother?" asked the Great King with a smile on his face.
"Li Xiu." Li Xiu continued, "I am willing to take you there, but as you can see, there are enemies blocking me outside, and I can't go back."
"That's not difficult. Once I get out of this predicament, I will eat your enemy alive. He's nothing." The Great King said arrogantly.
"Well, how long will it take for you to escape?" Li Xiu asked.
"This is also easy. I see that thing in your hand can break the jade. You use it to break the jade chain into pieces, and I can naturally escape and help you kill the enemy." said the Great King.
"That's a good idea." Li Xiu said as he took two steps towards the Great King, as if to help it out of trouble. However, after taking two steps, Li Xiu stopped again, standing there looking at the Great King with a frown in silence.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something? Don't worry, after I get out of this predicament, I can easily swallow up your enemy." The Great King said hurriedly.
"I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried that if I rescue you now, what should I do if you turn against me? I don't have a badge on me now, so I can't beat you." Li Xiu said with embarrassment.
"How could I, the Great Heavenly King, be an ungrateful person? You saved me from trouble, so you are my benefactor. I haven't had enough time to repay you yet, so how could I possibly hurt you? What's more, you are the brother of the Great King. I will go with you to see the tablet of the God of Death in the future..." The Great Heavenly King said hurriedly.
"That's what he said. That's what the Great King said at the beginning. But he turned around and wanted to bite me. If I hadn't had the tag on me, I would have been bitten to death. It's hard to be a good person." Li Xiu shook his head and sighed.
"Don't compare me with that fool..." The King was extremely depressed.
Li Xiu can now be certain that this thing cannot break free from the jade chain. As long as he does not break the jade chain, it probably won't be able to do anything to him. If it had any way to kill him, it wouldn't have said so much nonsense to him.
Li Xiu sat down against the wall to rest. No matter what the Great King said, Li Xiu just said that he was embarrassed and refused to break the jade chain.
The Great King saw that Li Xiu was not so easy to appease, so he rolled his eyes again and said with a chuckle: "To show your sincerity, you can bring the enemy in first, and I will help you swallow him up, so that you don't have to worry about the future."
"That's a good idea." Li Xiu looked out of the cave and did not see any trace of Bai Wanli. Even Li Qingyi outside was gone.
Li Xiu sneered inwardly, knowing that Bai Wanli definitely did not leave, and Li Qingyi was probably also under his control.
"Vice President Bai, it's very windy outside. You'd better not hide. Come in and let's talk." Li Xiu shouted a few times to the outside, but no one responded, as if they had really left.
Li Xiu didn't believe it at all. Since Bai Wanli didn't say anything, he stopped shouting and looked at the things in the hall.
Li Xiu had just seen that on the wall where the Great Heavenly King was locked up, there were many magic words written. After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was actually a method of condensing light.
"What is the name of the Ningguang method engraved on the wall? Why is it engraved here?" Li Xiu looked through it and did not find the name of the Ningguang method. He couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"You actually understand magic runes?" The Great King's eyes lit up and he asked Li Xiu excitedly.
"I understand a little." Li Xiu replied.
"It's great that you understand magic words. Can you translate it for me? What is written here?" The Great King said hurriedly.
"As a demon spirit, don't you understand magic words?" Li Xiu asked with some confusion.
"Why should I understand magic words? Those broken magic words were invented by the demons, not by me. How could I understand them?" said the Great King angrily.
"Demon people? Are the demon people you are talking about humans like me?" Li Xiu suddenly realized that the Demon Country he had been talking about did not seem to refer to the Kingdom of Demon Spirits.
"It's about the same. The Demons are carbon-based creatures like you, but they are much stronger than you humans on Earth. However, compared to us, they are still just low-level creatures and can only do some fancy things." said the Great King.
Only then did Li Xiu realize that the Demon Kingdom should really be a country established by humans, but those humans seemed to be somewhat different from the humans on Earth.
"What's written here is the Ningguang method." Li Xiu said to the Great King.
“I know it’s the Ningguang method. What I mean is that you translate the Ningguang method for me.” The Great King said hurriedly.
"My level of magic writing is average, and this Ningguang method is quite profound. I don't know if I can translate it accurately. Do you know where this thing came from? If I know the background of its origin, the accuracy of the translation will be higher." Li Xiu planned to first find out where this Ningguang method came from and who engraved it.
Upon hearing this, the Great Heavenly King said, "I saw this Light Condensation Method in a hall in Tianmen City and wrote it down. I engraved it on this wall."
"What hall is that?" Li Xiu asked again.
"There are so many palaces in Tianmen City, how would I know which one that is?" The Great King was obviously insincere.
Although it is illiterate, it actually memorized these magic words that it could not understand at all, and knew that this was the Ningguang method. This shows that it knows the value of this thing, otherwise it would not have memorized it. Moreover, it was afraid of forgetting it, so it engraved it on the jade wall, which further illustrates the importance of the Ningguang method.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try. Don't blame me if the translation is wrong." Li Xiu looked at the magic words on the wall and translated them word by word.
Of course, Li Xiu did not follow the correct translation completely. He occasionally used some seemingly incorrect words as substitutes. Most of the translations were correct, with only occasional ambiguities in some places.
The Great Heavenly King frowned when he heard this: "What is the pylorus? You should be talking about the Jade Gate, right?"
"The two words 'Youyu' and 'Yu' are represented by the same symbol in magic words. Only by considering the context and background can we know what they mean. I don't know the origin and background of this Ningguang method, so I can only translate it literally." Li Xiu said helplessly.
The Great King groaned in silence. He also knew that this translation was not a good idea. If he made a mistake in translating it, he would be in big trouble.
After pondering for a moment, the Great Heavenly King spoke again, "I remember hearing other demons say that the hall with these magic words carved on it might be the residence of the former Emperor of Tianmen City, and the magic words carved on it might be the Condensing Light Method practiced by the Emperor of Tianmen City. However, Tianmen City has long been a ruin, and the residents in the city have disappeared, and the Emperor of Tianmen City has also disappeared. I don't know whether the hall is the residence of the Emperor of Tianmen City, and whether the Condensing Light Method is the Condensing Light Method practiced by the Emperor of Tianmen City."
"In the legend, what is the origin of that Heavenly Emperor?" Li Xiu asked again.
“It is just said that the Emperor of Tianmen City was once the ruler of the Demon Kingdom. But no one knows what happened afterwards. The Demon Kingdom fell apart, the Emperor of Heaven disappeared, and Tianmen City became a ruin, becoming a restricted area where no living person can enter…” The Great King recounted the origin of Tianmen City.
"It turns out that Tianmen City was the capital of the Demon Kingdom in the past. No wonder it is so mysterious and strange." Li Xiu looked at the Ningguang method and said, "Now that you put it this way, I understand a lot. The previous translation was a little wrong. I will translate it again for you... By the way, how did you get trapped here?"
"Hmph, it's still the one in the Great Emperor's Palace..." The Great King realized that he seemed to have let something slip, and immediately kept silent.
Li Xiu didn't care either, as if he didn't hear it, and continued to translate the Ningguang method on the wall to the Great King.
Li Xiu discovered that the Condensing Light Technique only condensed twelve light veins, which was two fewer than the Zi Bu Yu Strange Power and Chaos Technique. He couldn't help but feel confused.
If according to the Great Heavenly King, this is the Condensing Light Method practiced by the Demon Kingdom’s supreme ruler, then it should be the Demon Kingdom’s most powerful Condensing Light Method.
But this method of condensing light can only condense twelve light veins, which is two less than Zi Buyu's method of strange powers and chaos, and it does not seem to be that powerful.
Moreover, Li Xiu also discovered that the twelve light veins condensed by this method of condensing light overlapped with the twelve light veins in Zi Buyu's magic formula.
In other words, except for the two extra light veins, the other parts of Zi Buyu's Strange Power and Chaos God Technique are similar to the Ningguang Method, and can be said to be basically the same.
After Li Xiu re-translated it, the Great King listened more and more and felt that it should be correct, and nodded from time to time.
After Li Xiu finished translating, the Great Heavenly King pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Wait a moment, I have some more Light Condensation techniques here, please translate them for me as well."
As the Great King spoke, he stretched out his claws and started carving on the wall next to him.
Its claws could actually carve words directly on the jade wall, and it didn't seem to be very difficult. Before, Bai Wanli had tried his best but was unable to damage these jade bricks. This showed that the strength of this great king was indeed above Bai Wanli.
The Great Heavenly King carved out many more magic words. After Li Xiu looked at them carefully, he found that this was indeed a method of condensing light. However, it was different from the previous method. None of the light veins condensed by this method corresponded to Zi Buyu's Magical Art.
However, this method of condensing light also condenses twelve light veins, eight of which correspond to the eight light veins of Buddha's light.
Li Xiu immediately realized a problem, that these two Ningguang techniques should be a complete set of Ningguang techniques.
The previous half corresponded to the red light vein pattern on the evil spirit card, and the current half corresponds to the blue light vein pattern on the evil spirit card. In other words, if they are combined, they can condense twenty-four light veins.
It’s just that there seems to be a missing part between the two, and there is no way to connect them together to form a set of Ningguang method.
"This big dog still has a trick up his sleeve." Li Xiu continued translating while guessing secretly in his heart.
The contents of his translation were basically correct, with only a few mistakes that were difficult to find. As expected, the great king did not notice any clues and kept praising Li Xiu for his good translation.
After Li Xiu finished translating, he didn't say anything else. He walked to the cave entrance and looked outside, but still didn't see Bai Wanli.
Li Xiu still insisted on his judgment and still did not go out of the cave.
"Brother, talents like you are rare in the Demon Kingdom. No wonder King Gai Shi is willing to become sworn brothers with you. If you are willing, how about we become sworn brothers as well?" said the Great King.
"Forget it." Li Xiu had no interest in becoming sworn brothers with this big dog.
This guy is most likely still thinking of asking Li Xiu to help him out of trouble. If they become sworn brothers, it will be difficult for him to refuse.
Upon hearing this, the Great Heavenly King said angrily, "I am well-known in the Demonic Kingdom. Ask around and see who in heaven and on earth doesn't know my name, the Great Heavenly King. Would it be unfair to you to become sworn brothers with me?"
Li Xiu smiled and said, "If you want to become sworn brothers, then wait until you are out of trouble."
"Haha, okay, then please help me out of this predicament, brother." The Great King said excitedly.
"When did I say I would help you out of trouble?" Li Xiu said lightly.
The smile on the Great Heavenly King's face froze involuntarily: "Didn't you say that we would become sworn brothers after I escape from this predicament?"
"Yes, after you get yourself out of trouble, if you are still willing, we can become sworn brothers." Li Xiu said.
The Great Heavenly King suddenly became furious, roared like an ox or a lion, and pounced on Li Xiu.
But its neck was locked with jade chains, so it couldn't pounce at all, just like a tied-up vicious dog pouncing on people.
A terrifying light flashed on its body, but it couldn't leave the body. It was less than ten meters away from Li Xiu, but it had no way to do anything to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu laughed and said, "You turned against me so quickly? I just translated the magic words for you, how could you change your face so suddenly?"
"Human, don't be so complacent. I have plenty of ways to kill you." The Great Heavenly King was so angry that his teeth were itching. He paced back and forth beside the jade wall. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he smiled and said to Li Xiu: "Brother, after all, there is no conflict of interest between us. You help me out of trouble, and I help you kill your enemy. This is a win-win situation. Why should you be so cautious? If there is no help from me, your enemy will come in and kill you. When he gets the thing in your hand, he can also help me out of trouble..."
"Then just wait for him to come in and rescue you." Li Xiu sneered.
The Great Heavenly King was not angry this time. He just narrowed his eyes and said, "If you are willing to help me escape, I will give you the complete version of the Jade Emperor Sutra. This is the Light Condensation Method that once defeated everyone in the world. If you can master this sutra, you will be invincible in the world in the future. Even if you want to become the new ruler of the Demon Kingdom, it is not impossible."
