Who Let Him Cultivate Immortality-Chapter 559: United Demon Race

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou quickly came to an agreement and decided to head to the Demon Realm.

"We shouldn't rush. We need to first understand the situation in the Demon Realm," Lu Yang said, trying to suppress the smile on his face.

"Should we bring Man Gu and the others to the Demon Realm?"

"Man Gu can't go. His ancient barbarian bloodline is a double-edged sword for the demon race. It can suppress lower-level demons, but it provokes higher-level demon beasts," Lu Yang recalled how during their Foundation Establishment stage training in the dense forest, Man Gu's ancient barbarian bloodline awakened, attracting a swarm of Golden Elixir stage demon beasts.

If Man Gu went to the Demon Realm, he might attract a horde of Divine Transformation stage or even higher-level demon beasts, leaving them with no choice but to run for their lives.

Oh, and running might not be an option against demon beasts; perhaps using the eldest senior sister's pictographic fist would be better.

"Junior Sister Tao is busy cultivating her Feathered Immortal Body and can't leave."

Before coming to Meng Jingzhou, Lu Yang had visited Tao Yaoye. He saw her wrapped in platinum feathers, as if nurturing something, completely isolated from the outside world and not to be disturbed.

"Junior Brother Li should be free; we can ask him."

The two temporarily left the old horse behind, ignoring Xu You who was shackled, and went to Hundred Refinements Peak to find Li Haoran.

Li Haoran was shirtless, his wig removed, revealing his muscular body and shiny head. He was swinging a large hammer, panting as he crafted some artifact.

The sound of artifact crafting was loud, so disciples at Hundred Refinements Peak always set up soundproof formations before starting, ensuring they wouldn't disturb others.

"Phew, finally done," Li Haoran exhaled, picking up a small rectangular object from under the hammer.

"What kind of artifact is this?"

Hearing Lu Yang's voice, Li Haoran looked up and noticed the two of them. He had been so engrossed in hammering that he hadn't noticed his surroundings.

"Oh, this? It's not an artifact; it's a compressed steamed bun."

"This is a special item from the Hundred Refinements Peak cafeteria for our sect's disciples. It compresses steamed buns, Great Return Pills, and Essence Gathering Pills together. Whether you're exhausted from travel or out of spiritual power in battle, just take a bite, and you'll restore your strength and energy!"

"You can even use it as a heart-protecting mirror on your chest, much better than the previous pancakes. Want to try one? I just made them."

The two quickly shook their heads, explaining their purpose.

Li Haoran looked troubled. "Going to the Demon Realm? I'm afraid not. My master told me to stay in the sect and cultivate peacefully. I can't leave until I catch up with you in cultivation."

"Aren't you already at the late Golden Elixir stage?"

"But I only reached the late Golden Elixir stage three months ago, while you two reached it five months ago."

Lu Yang understood. Li Haoran was at the seventh level of the Golden Elixir stage, while he and Old Meng were already at the eighth level.

That's the difference.

"If you're going to the Demon Realm, you should prepare in advance. Qin Haoran once hid in the Demon Realm to escape debts, so I know a bit about it. There are things to be cautious about, like not bringing that horse of yours to the Demon Realm."

"Huh, why?"

"The old horse is a variant demon beast. If you let a demon beast pull your carriage, aren't you afraid of making enemies with the demon race?"

From the outside, the old horse had a few dragon scales on its forehead, easily categorizing it as a variant demon beast, a creature with demon beast blood but mixed lineage.

Li Haoran didn't know the old horse's true identity.

But it didn't matter whether he knew or not. Whether the old horse was a demon beast or a variant, having it pull the carriage was no different from bringing Man Gu to the Demon Realm.

"However, if you reverse roles with the old horse, you might avoid making enemies."

"Reverse roles?"

"Yes, you two pull the carriage, and the old horse sits on it."

"......"

Then what's the point of bringing the old horse?

"Are demon beasts really that united?" Lu Yang secretly wondered. Humans are one race, while the demon race is a collection of many. Would the tiger clan really be angry seeing the old horse pull a carriage?

That seemed overly united.

"The demon race wasn't always this united," Immortal Fairy explained the backstory.

"In the early days, demon beasts were rampant, and humans had no place. The tiger clan, dragon clan, ox clan, horse clan, and others had significant rifts, often fighting to the death."

"Later, as humans rose, forming tribes, demon beasts felt the pressure. By our era, three of the five ancient immortals were human, with only one Kylin Immortal from the demon race, and Time Immortal not belonging to any race. Three to one, humans had a significant advantage at the top, establishing their dominance."

"Feeling the pressure from humans, the demon race united, collectively known as the demon race."

Lu Yang thought to himself, I thought they united out of fear of being eaten by you, forced to unite against a common enemy.

"Junior Brother Li, can you tell us about the Demon Realm?" Meng Jingzhou asked.

Li Haoran nodded, drawing a large circle on the ground with a stick, then many small circles inside it.

"This is the Demon Realm, and the small circles are the demon races."

"Unlike Great Xia or the Buddhist Kingdom, the demon race has a chaotic order, with no established dynasty. They're like the early humans, living in tribes, with complex interrelations, including blood feuds, personal vendettas, alliances, and betrayals. Don't just look at the surface relationships among the demon races; there's much we don't know."

"The demon race can be roughly divided into three categories: those friendly to humans, neutral, and those that dislike humans."

"Like the dragon and phoenix clans, they're close to humans. The Taowu clan dislikes humans, while the Chaos clan is neutral. When you reach the demon race, be cautious and try to visit territories of those friendly to humans."

"The demon race respects strength and bloodline. The purer the bloodline and stronger the power, the more respect they receive."

"Pureblood dragons, phoenixes, and basalts are both large clans and purebloods, holding the highest status among the demon race."

"Of course, humans are an exception. At least I've never heard of the demon race respecting us for being pureblood humans."

Li Haoran then explained the taboos of various races, like dragons having reverse scales that shouldn't be touched, or not mentioning blood-selling to the phoenix clan.

"I don't know much about the Demon Realm. After all, I only have half of Qin Haoran's memories now, and much is vague. Telling you might mislead you. The elders have traveled far and wide in their youth and might have visited the Demon Realm. You can ask them for more advice."

"That makes sense."

The elders have rich experiences, having been to both the underworld and high-class brothels, the Buddhist Kingdom, and the Demon Realm.

The Great Elder was chatting with Xu You, so they found Grandpa Ba.

"You're going to the Demon Realm. Any advice?"

Grandpa Ba thought for a moment and seriously said, "Don't mention you're from the Seek Tao Sect."

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
