Chapter 415 The world's curses are just noise after all Inside the Qingxin Hall, Cheng Zhen sat upright, straightened his clothes and composed his expression, his eyes fixed on the entrance of the hall, where were the two old men who were led in by of them was tall, wearing a long gray-bronze robe, with a solemn face; the other one was leaning on a bone staff, hunched over, but with a kind smile on his face. Yaowang and Yuemin, the two demon kings, extraordinary creatures who dominated one side, arrived in an instant after receiving the summons. "Captain, gentlemen, we are here." "Well, please take a seat and serve tea." When they first met, the two old men left a very deep impression on Cheng Zhen. Even though their Qi was restrained to the extreme, he could still vaguely feel how terrifying the power hidden under those two withered bodies was. It was at least much stronger than his. "Nice to meet you, Master Wu. I've heard a lot about you!" "I am far away from home, the Lord of Xuanyuan in the Altai Mountains in the north." "This is Yue Min, the Demon King of Qingze in Wushan." The two demon kings were also looking at Cheng Zhen with some surprise.
This young man is undoubtedly the strongest human they have ever seen in the current era. Although he is not as powerful as the great men of the old days, judging from his appearance, his bones and age, he is less than 200 years old and has great potential. Many heads and chief disciples of secular sects are also at this level. "Hello, two seniors. Please take a seat." Cheng Zhen smiled calmly and motioned for them to take a seat. Then a disciple brought tea and served it to them. The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and talked about the recent situation. Yaowang sighed: "The mountains and seas are changing, the spirits are reviving, and all spirits are competing. There are dozens of demon countries and secret sects entering the world one after another." "I know very well that to achieve hegemony, allies are indispensable, and your clan is undoubtedly the ally I want. I come here uninvited and without the need for a clan leader. I beg for forgiveness if I have disturbed you." In response, Cheng Zhen calmly picked up the teacup, pinched the lid with his hand, shook it gently to blow away the heat, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Senior. May I ask, how old are you?" "You have come from afar to apologize to a junior like me. Are you going to embarrass me?" "Old man? According to your human calculations, I am more than 1,300 years old. However, most of the time, I sleep at the bottom of the mountain to practice. I rarely come out. I don't know much about the rules of this world." "Only when you feel hungry will you leave the nest and look for food to fill your stomach." What Yaowang said was true, its practice mainly relied on devouring its own kind or next-level beasts, as well as the evil energy underground, spiritual springs in mountain streams, and exotic fruits, to achieve transformation. "Thirteen hundred years is a long time. It shows the rise and fall of dynasties and the replacement of noble families." After hearing Yaowang's answer, Chengzhen turned his head to look at Yuemin and asked politely, "What about you, senior?" "I am over 900 years old. I live deep in the Wushan Mountains. I was once worshipped as a god by the local villagers and a temple was built for me. But it seems like a vague memory. Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye. It seems like a lifetime ago." Yue Min savored the tea, drank it down his throat, and then said slowly, "Compared to the Taotie's kindness with cunning, its attitude is more easy-going." "Oh those two seniors, there are so many seniors and juniors." Cheng Zhen felt relieved. He originally thought that these revived extraordinary creatures were species that had evolved and risen recently, just like the ancestor snail that was killed. Unexpectedly, they have existed since ancient times and have been dormant in remote places, especially Remote Wang, which is as old as the time that the Sanyi Sect has been passed down in the mortal world. The era experienced by the forty-third generation of the sect leader is actually covered by its lifespan. How powerful is such a creature?
Cheng Zhen had no idea and couldn't see through it. "It's just age, it doesn't matter. I like the saying of you humans, 'A hero is not judged by his origin.'" "In this world, you and I never know when we will become food for other ferocious beasts. Only unshakable strength is the most worthy of praise and respect. The rest, fame, wealth, power, are nothing but flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water." It speaks humbly and modestly, without taking advantage of its seniority. It highly respects the iron rule of the jungle in nature. "You are right." "Then why don't you get to the point, two seniors? No need to beat around the bush. Tell me why you're here, and I'll let you consider it." "it is good." Yao Wang said without hesitation: "I want to attack several neighboring demon countries and swallow up the 'kings' there. I can do it by myself, but it is very risky. I can't afford this risk, so I need a strong ally." "Of course, if everything goes well, I want to have a taste of not only the demon kings in the North, but also those in the East China Sea, the West, the South, the Central Plains, and even overseas, in heaven and on earth." Having said that, Yaowang handed over a jade box, which flew to Chengzhen's desk, opened by itself, revealing the treasures inside. "Well, Master Wu, this is the sincerity I can give you." "Oh?" Cheng Zhen lowered his eyes and saw that the inner wall of the box was a clear cloud color, containing 12 shrunken exotic flowers, 6 exotic fruits, 8 bottles of spiritual springs, pieces of blood jade, and two ancient magic tools with mysterious auras and unknown powers. "Are these the resources used for cultivation?" "Yes, these exotic flowers and fruits can help you transform from a mortal to an ordinary person, cleanse your marrow and bones, and rebuild your foundation. They can tap into the power of your body to the greatest extent." "Both us and you humans are crazy about it and are scrambling for it. Some flowers can even permanently enhance your abilities after consumption. I can't figure out their specific uses, but I know a little bit of their outline. I think they are miracles nurtured by heaven and earth. In theory, they are similar to you and me, both are living creatures, but they have not yet developed spiritual intelligence. If I hadn't intercepted them in advance, they would have become a new extraordinary creature in the future." Yaowang gave a brief introduction. In addition, the spiritual spring nourishes the soul and clears the mind, while the function of the blood jade, as the name suggests, is to replenish blood. Each piece is pure jade filled with the essence and blood of different extraordinary creatures. It can be used when the blood is deficient, and it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life. "However, the most precious are these two magical instruments. They were discovered by the demon generals in my territory. They belong to the ancient practitioners of your human race. They can withstand the force of my grip without breaking. I think they must be extraordinary. I will give them to you as well." "No merit, no reward. Senior, you have to state your request. If I cannot do it, then even if these gifts are expensive and rare, they are still too much for me to accept." Cheng Zhen took out a rusty magic weapon. It was a fan inlaid with dark pearls and jade, and engraved with vague outlines of birds and beasts. The casting material was unknown. He stroked the fan bones and could vaguely feel a dangerous aura. Before he was sure of how to activate it, he just played with it for a while and gave up. "A request? Help me destroy a demon country and kill the 'king' there. The treasures we get can be divided equally, but I want to eat the 'king's' corpse;" “Or, after I take action, I beg Xuanzun, or his Dharma body, to protect my territory for a certain period of time.” "." Cheng Zhen was silent, thought for a while, and asked back: "There are many demon kings in Jiuzhou. Senior, why did you choose our family? Besides, I belong to a different species than you. Aren't you afraid that we might go back on our word?" Yao Wang smiled knowingly: "I am wary of them, and they are also very wary of me." "Of course, before I visited you, I have already investigated your sect's past. Your reputation is good and your work is reputable. Even so, I am still wary of you." "It's just that your strength in repelling the siege of the four sects really impressed me. I couldn't find any reason to give up, so I just came to test the wind."
The old man explained the reason and teased: "Anyway, you are also called the Demon Sect by the outside world. It's not that bad to cooperate with us, right? After all, the curses of the world are just noise." "As for going back on your word, I don't think there's any need to worry. Ever since I saw the six-headed dragon and Wan Fu die that day, I realized that as long as I get your promise, there's no point in pursuing it, whether it's true or not. In other words, Xuan Zun can kill me at any time, so why would he pretend to be nice to me?" "Whether I am worried or not, the result is the same. It depends on whether you have bad intentions towards me. If you do, I can't escape it." "Senior, you are thinking very clearly." Cheng Zhen raised a smile, raised his head slightly, looked at the old man, and said, "I can agree to your request, but you have to cooperate with me." "Oh? Go ahead." Yao Wang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that the other party was willing to give in. "The conditions are as follows: 1. You and your demons are not allowed to actively invade any city within the territory. If it is a natural area, then you can do whatever you want. Humans eat beasts, and beasts eat humans. It is in line with the laws of natural development." "2. You have to lend a hand when we deal with the four cases and need help elsewhere." "3. You want to devour the corpse of the demon king you killed for cultivation. I understand, but I have to recycle a portion of the corpse's flesh and blood, about one tenth." "4. I will help you kill other demon kings after I have resolved my feud with the four sects. During this period, if your territory is attacked by other extraordinary creatures, I can help you as appropriate." Cheng Zhen listed all the ideas that needed to be said. "When you say deal with the four sects, you mean annihilate the whole clan, right?" Yao Wang felt great interest, with greed flashing in his eyes. Those powerful elders and sect leaders are undoubtedly excellent blood food for it. If it eats them in large quantities, they can even be comparable to an extraordinary creature. "Yes." Cheng Zhen said with certainty. "Master Wu, I agree to your conditions 1, 3, and 4. As for the second condition, I need to eat those aliens while I help you. You should have no objection, right?" "Well, no, you can eat as much as you want, I won't interfere." The sect was embroiled in a war, and Cheng Zhen showed no mercy to all enemies, including the four sects. "it is good!" "In that case, I will offer tea instead of wine. I wish our cooperation goes smoothly!" "Come on! My dear, I'll give you a toast." Yaowang felt that the trip was not in vain, as he finally won over an ally. He was very happy and in a good mood. (End of this chapter)
