Chapter 2664 Not Born Naturally
"Don't rush..."
The more annoyed Zhuque became, the more Qin Sang wanted to disturb him, chasing him into the cave.
It was rare for the Vermilion Bird to awaken, and Qin Sang had many questions she wanted to ask it.
For example, the Ancient Demon Court.
Qin Sang lacked the ability to monopolize the Ancient Demon Court, so she had to find an ally. Vermilion Bird was the perfect choice, just like when they divided up the Qilin inheritance last time, Vermilion Bird played a crucial role.
"What did you say?" Zhuque was taken aback when Qin Sang revealed the function of the bone flute.
Upon awakening this time, it suddenly gained many more memories. Although most of these memories were still fragmented and disorganized, some important information was also mixed in.
It instructed Qin Sang to take out the bone flute and examine it.
Qin Sang looked on with anticipation. She had always regarded the bone flute as a bamboo slip for recording cultivation techniques, but she realized it was not that simple until it revealed its extraordinary abilities.
Zhuque held the bone flute, turning it over and over for a long time, and pondered, "Records say that the last Demon Emperor once said that all the land under heaven belongs to the king, and all living beings in the realm are the children of the Demon Court. They should be treated equally and educated. He decided to personally create an unparalleled masterpiece so that all races and people in the world could cultivate it, cultivate this path together, and resolve their differences!"
Qin Sang was surprised.
Back then, the Demon Court's greatest enemies were the human race and the witch race. The human race suffered greatly because, firstly, their heavenly tribulations were different, and they were regarded as demons from outside the realm; secondly, they did not have the bloodline talents of the demon race, so they could not cultivate the demon race's techniques and could not achieve the demon soul's possession of the star, thus cutting off their possibility of joining the ancient demon court.
The achievement of the Dharma Image confirms that the "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" has broken this constraint. The technique can change according to the cultivator's race and bloodline, and humans can also cultivate by visualizing demonic beasts and drawing upon the power of stars to temper their bodies. Although they will still be troubled by star evil, as long as their will is firm and they find their destiny star, they have a chance to cultivate to the realm of demon soul residing in the star.
He looked at the bone flute. Could this be the cultivation technique created by the last demon emperor?
"He was also a monarch of great talent and ambition," Qin Sang exclaimed.
I thought the last demon emperor was a foolish ruler who was overthrown, but I never expected that he not only created a technique to unify all demon races, but also abandoned racial prejudices and even considered the human race.
Once the "Heavenly Demon Refining Form" is implemented throughout the world, all human cultivators will practice this method. When a powerful individual emerges whose soul is entrusted to a star, they will be accepted by the Demon Court. In this way, the two races, who are like fire and water, will have the opportunity to communicate, and the status of the human race may change, turning the life-and-death racial war into an internal struggle within the Demon Court.
The addition of humans may exacerbate the division within the Demon Court, and in the long run, it's difficult to say whether it's good or bad, but it has indeed helped the Demon Court eliminate a powerful external enemy.
Moreover, this move also divides the human race's power. The vast majority of people still want a peaceful life. Unless they are forced into a desperate situation, it is difficult for them to abandon everything and resist the rule of the Demon Court. At that time, some people will inevitably accept the Demon Court's recruitment, and it will be difficult to unite the people's hearts!
"Weren't we overthrown by you humans?" Suzaku rolled her eyes.
"The conflict between the human and demon races cannot be resolved by a single cultivation technique," Qin Sang shook his head.
Although he was not clear about the full picture of this history, the principle was the same: the conflict between the human and demon races had reached an irreconcilable point.
"Is it really the key to unlocking the Ancient Demon Court?" Qin Sang pressed.
"Perhaps. If the 'Heavenly Demon Refining Form' is indeed the cultivation technique created by the last Demon Emperor, there must be a reason why he sealed it in this bone..."
Zhuque remained noncommittal, but said meaningfully, "However, don't let yourself be blinded by greed. Even if the Ancient Demon Court still exists and there are ancient treasures inside, it may not necessarily be a treasure land."
Is the Ancient Demon Court really that dangerous?
Just as Qin Sang was about to press further, Zhuque tossed the bone flute back, yawned, and said, "I'm a bit confused right now, and I haven't recovered many memories. I'll think about it properly after I recover. You'd better not do anything reckless before I come out of seclusion. Hmm, you're quite bold, actually allowing your essence, energy, and spirit to merge with the Dao separately. I didn't dare to do that back then. It's good that your Dharma form doesn't break through the barrier for now, and we can maintain the status quo."
He then tried to kick Qin Sang out of the cave.
Qin Sang was unwilling to give up and refused to leave, asking Zhu Que about Tian Li's situation.
Tian Li advanced to the seventh transformation. Although their realms were roughly equal, he quickly harmonized the laws, which Tian Li still couldn't adapt to. Her condition was very abnormal, even more serious than she had imagined.
When fighting against Chen Sha Demon Lord, although Tian Li was able to forcefully intervene, Qin Sang was worried that Tian Li's condition would worsen. In addition, she was confident that she could kill this person, so she did not wake her up.
Hearing Qin Sang's description, Zhuque was also somewhat surprised. After pondering for a while, she hesitated and said, "I remember hearing a saying before. It is said that in the past, all living beings in the world belonged to the five categories of insects, including those insects, whether they were shelled insects or scaled insects, without exception. There was no separate race of spirit insects. The spirit insect race was created later. Perhaps when creating spirit insects, that person used the original insects of the spirit world as a model, but not the offspring of two different bloodlines like half-demons, nor the descendants of the witch race who inherited divine blood. It was a true creation, a race never before seen in the spirit world!"
Qin Sang was greatly shocked; it was unimaginable to create a race by chance.
"The God of War?"
He immediately thought of a name: the only universally acknowledged ascendant in the spirit world, who had a Nine Transformations Divine Silkworm by his side when he became an immortal, and had the closest relationship with the spirit insect race.
If the spirit insect race was created later, it could only be the witch god!
Zhuque nodded. "It is said that the Witch God felt sorry for the hardships of cultivation, that everyone was in the midst of tribulations, and that cultivators' tribulations were endless. He wanted to create a race without heavenly tribulations, and thus the Spirit Insect race came into being."
Qin Sang could not imagine what kind of extraordinary power and grandeur this was.
Many of my previous doubts have been answered.
No wonder, even though the human race and the spirit insect race both have heavenly tribulations that are completely different from those of the demon race, the demon race only regards the human race as an extraterrestrial demon. He originally thought it was because the spirit insect race was too weak to threaten the demon race's position, so he ignored them.
It turns out that the spirit insect race was also born and raised here.
Therefore, the special heavenly tribulation patterns of spirit insects must also be related to their origins.
"I think the Witch God's idea is too extreme. The absence of heavenly tribulations may not be a good thing," Zhuque said with a sneer. "As the saying goes, misfortune may be a blessing in disguise. Heavenly tribulations are both trials and tribulations. Every time a cultivator undergoes a tribulation, they will experience a transformation. Without the pressure of heavenly tribulations, how many people can maintain their courage and diligence forever? The Spirit Insect Clan does not have the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulations, so they have fewer difficulties, but so far we have not heard of any peerless experts appearing in the Spirit Insect Clan. The most well-known one is still the Nine-Transformation Divine Silkworm who became famous because of the Witch God."
Born with a defect!
Qin Sang heard the words of the Void Butterfly.
The Witch God created the Spirit Insect race with the intention of creating a race free from calamity, and from this point of view, the Witch God succeeded. However, the Spirit Insect race may have flaws in other aspects.
For example, insufficient intelligence, difficulty in transforming into human form, limited supernatural powers, and extreme difficulty in mutation...
Even more so, there is a certain upper limit!
Zhuque is right. After the gods disappeared, the spirit realm became the stage for the human, witch, and demon races, while the spirit insect race remained hidden. Even now, the spirit insect race still hides in the witch race's several forbidden areas. Is it because they are indifferent to fame and fortune, unwilling to be at the forefront of the times, or because they lack the ability?
During his travels among the Wu tribe, Qin Sang never heard any rumors about the Eight Transformations Spirit Insect. Of course, it was probably because his cultivation level was too low and his perspective was too limited at the time.
According to the message left by the Void Butterfly for Tian Li, it was clear that it had encountered difficulties in its cultivation, so it helped Tian Li comprehend the Void Domain and wanted to test it on her.
"Leaving aside other matters, the Spirit Insect Clan was created by the Witch God in the Spirit Realm. They must have relied on the laws of the Spirit Realm to eliminate the Heavenly Tribulation, thus exploiting a loophole. Now that they have fallen into another world and broken free from their original laws," Zhuque looked at Tianli with a gloating smile, "The Heavenly Dao didn't directly send down a Heavenly Tribulation to kill this dead butterfly; she's lucky to be alive!"
Tian Li was already awake, looking rather lazy. She raised her eyelids and glared fiercely at Zhu Que.
These two have been at odds ever since Tian Li couldn't transform into human form, and they always end up fighting whenever they meet.
This means that Tian Li is unable to adapt to the laws of the Demon Realm.
Qin Sang frowned.
Zhuque said, "You are her master, so you can only start from yourself and see if you can help alleviate her condition. Don't think that just because you and I can harmonize the laws and adapt to another world, we were born and raised in the Spirit Realm. There is always a causal connection between us that cannot be severed. The connection between the Spirit Insect Clan and the Spirit Realm is even deeper, and it can even be said to be a shackle. Unless you can change her fundamental nature."
"There are also humans in the Demon Realm," Qin Sang reminded him.
Zhuque retorted without hesitation, "So you humans are just extraterrestrial demons! The emergence of the Demon Realm further proves that this claim is not unfounded. Moreover, even if they are all of the same race, the humans of the Demon Realm are Demon Realm people, and the humans of the Spirit Realm are Spirit Realm people. Is that so hard to understand?"
Qin Sang could certainly understand.
"But I wasn't born in the Spirit Realm," Qin Sang thought. Perhaps his cultivation level wasn't high enough, because he hadn't felt the causal connection that Zhuque had mentioned.
But am I really not a spirit?
It should be known that within the Spirit Realm, there are countless minor worlds, like the sands of the Ganges, just as he saw in the River of Sin, containing all sorts of strange and wondrous worlds. The Jade Buddha bringing him from another minor world to the Storm Realm is clearly more likely than bringing him from outside the Spirit Realm.
At this moment, Qin Sang saw Zhuque yawn several times, looking drowsy. Knowing that its injuries were indeed serious, she couldn't bear to disturb it any longer and asked one last question, "How can we return to the Spirit Realm?"
"Finding the crack in the boundary wall will allow us to return..."
That's just nonsense!
Qin Sang wanted to ask for clarification, but suddenly heard a loud shout. The firelight in front of him was blinding, and he knew something was wrong. Then he saw a claw imprinted on his chest and a kick sent him flying.
'Boom! Boom! Boom!'
Qin Sang plowed a deep trench in the ground, almost kicking him to the other end of the small cave.
Zhuque finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling refreshed, and slammed the cave shut with a 'bang'.
Qin Sang got up, covered in dust, thinking to himself that this guy was getting more and more arrogant. What would happen if it became a Heavenly Demon? It would be better to lift the restriction as soon as possible and stay away from it.
Shaking her head, Qin Sang saw the purple pool beside her and realized she had forgotten to ask about it. However, she didn't want to disturb it any longer and decided to wait until Zhuque came out of seclusion.
Having heard so many secrets from Zhuque, Qin Sang needed time to process them. Thinking about them, each of them possessed not only unparalleled talent but also extraordinary ability, making them truly admirable.
The Witch God created the spirit insect race and is recognized as an immortal; the last Demon Emperor created the unparalleled skill that all living beings could cultivate; the Jade Emperor overthrew the ancient demon court, scattered empty bags, resisted the demonic calamity, and repaired the earth membrane; the Dao Lord successively founded the Pill Cauldron School and the Talisman School, leading the Daoist sect to establish the Divine Court, a supreme treasure of talismanic arts; and there is also the Ziwei Sword Master, who is an enemy of the world...
In every tribulation, extraordinary talents emerge, standing out from the masses. Although some ultimately fail, it does not diminish their fame.
Who will emerge victorious in this tribulation?
Qin Sang was first sighing, then worried. He was worried because of Tian Li. The spirit insect's 'innate defect' was more serious than he had expected. Would he be able to help Tian Li break through the shackles in the future?
He had long been accustomed to Tian Li's company. Even if one day Tian Li could no longer keep up with him like the Fire Jade Centipede, he would not abandon her!
"There will always be a way!" Qin Sang thought to herself.
It was these powerful beings who gave him confidence that one day, when he reached that point, he too would have the ability to turn the rotten into the miraculous!
Let Tianmu Butterfly rest first. Qin Sang remembered that after killing Chen Sha Demon Lord, she obtained a lot of spoils of war, which might contain clues about that Demon Lord.
Half a broken knife, white bone counting rods, an ice coffin, fragments of a magic robe, and a brocade belt were all the relics left behind by the Demon Lord Chen Sha.
Qin Sang looked at the woman sleeping in the ice coffin, never expecting that after all the twists and turns, she would eventually fall into his hands.
The Demon Lord Chen Sha bought this woman, intending to use her as a cultivation vessel, but she died before he could even make a move. Qin Sang didn't know what the Nine Nether Body was, nor did he need a cultivation vessel, so he pondered whether he could use this woman to conceal his true identity.
The one-eyed golden man is oblivious to his own mortality, and his identity as a 'spirit spy' may be exposed. He must find a plausible identity for himself.
However, he didn't know enough about the Nine Nether Demon Clan and couldn't come up with a clear plan yet. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to wake her up for the time being.
Putting away the ice coffin, Qin Sang looked at the other treasures. The broken knife and the fragments of the magic robe were not of much value. Only the white bone counting rod was valuable. It was neither an acquired spiritual treasure nor the natal spiritual treasure of Chen Sha Demon Lord. Qin Sang could refine it by erasing Chen Sha Demon Lord's mark.
However, this is a treasure of the Blood Path. Although Qin Sang can activate it, he may not be able to unleash its full power. It would be best to exchange this treasure for a treasure that suits him. However, Chen Sha Demon Lord is involved with the Weeping Blood Spirit Mansion and that unknown Demon Lord. If he makes a move rashly, he may cause trouble.
Qin Sang shook her head and had no choice but to erase the marks on it. She first put away the white bone counting rods and looked at the last treasure.
This brocade belt contains a mustard seed space. Since the Demon Realm does not have the empty bags distributed by the Jade Emperor, the mustard seed magic artifacts in the Demon Realm are not as abundant as in the Spirit Realm. This is not a problem for high-level cultivators, but many Qi Refining stage cultivators in the Demon Realm still have to carry magic artifacts with them, which has led to the development of various styles of magic robes.
This item was crafted using a method completely different from that of the spirit world, but it was also different from the mustard seed artifacts he had seen in the demon world before; it was quite special.
