Chapter 301 Yan Guang
"Yan Guang took me to the stone chamber where the Blood Demon was sealed. The stone chamber has a black stone door."
Liu Yucheng pointed at Shen Yao: "It's the same as the black stone door in the underground stone chamber on the third floor of the casino."
"Yan Guang said that only the true god's successor can open the stone gate. It is guarding here, waiting for the true god's successor to arrive, and then it will be free."
Liu Yucheng stared at the eggshell, recalling deep memories that stirred his emotions.
"Yan Guang and I depended on each other for survival. I thought I would never get out again. Suddenly one day, a crack appeared in the space. Yan Guang returned seriously injured and risked his life to help me escape from the space."
"Yan Guang died, leaving behind only an eggshell. He entrusted me to guard Qilin Mountain for it, and to hand over the eggshell if I ever encountered a true god's successor."
He used his spiritual power to control the eggshell and delivered it to Shen Yao: "Yan Guang said that only the spiritual consciousness of a true god's successor can open it."
Shen Yao held the eggshell in both hands. The eggshell was a cold, icy blue, but it felt very warm to the touch.
She touched the eggshell with her spiritual sense, and when her spiritual sense touched the runes on the eggshell, the eggshell burst into blue flames.
Shen Yao instantly withdrew her spiritual sense, and the golden pattern on the crack in the eggshell expanded several times, encircling her and the eggshell within the circle.
The familiar feeling returned, and Shen Yao entered the illusion.
The illusion was very simple, with only a red line of fire floating in front of her.
It's quite obvious that this red line of fire is her new spiritual root.
Shen Yao grabbed the fire line directly, and the fire line transformed into a rune that drilled into her palm.
She awoke from the illusion in an instant, her body passively unleashing a burst of power, having awakened her fire spirit root and become an immortal ancestor.
Liu Yucheng was not surprised and offered his congratulations: "Congratulations, you have become an immortal ancestor."
"Thank you, Brother Cheng." Shen Yao felt refreshed; this was the fastest awakening she had ever experienced.
The gold patterns on the eggshell have disappeared, but the cracks remain perfectly sealed.
Shen Yao tried to crack the eggshell, but couldn't break it at all.
She didn't know what was inside the eggshell and dared not rashly use her spiritual power to destroy it.
"Let me see." Huo Die took the eggshell, probed it with his divine sense, and handed it to his daughter: "Keep it away for now, maybe it will open by itself someday."
Shen Yao felt a little disappointed when the eggshell was put into her storage ring.
The storage space cannot hold living creatures, so it seems there is no life inside the eggshell and the baby Blue Flamebird cannot hatch.
Suppressing his joy at becoming an Immortal Ancestor, he needed to explain some things to Liu Yucheng: "Brother Cheng, although I have become an Immortal Ancestor, I still cannot kill the Blood Demon. I can only seal it for now."
Liu Yucheng pondered for a long time: "Is the chaos caused by the evil cultivators this time, along with the terrifying number of bloodworms, all because the Blood Demon Seal has loosened?"
"Yes, but I've already repaired it." Shen Yao asked Huo Die, "How long do you think it will last, Father?"
Huo Die's expression was solemn: "It's hard to say. I'll go back to the entrance of the secret realm in a while and set up a fire array to prevent the bloodworms inside from escaping again."
The heat from underground had stopped, and Ruifeng City had finally returned to normal.
Upon returning to the main hall of the Free and Unfettered Sect, Shen Yao generously announced the good news: "I have become an Immortal Ancestor."
The good news came suddenly, and Feng Yu and Tu Xiaoxiao were overjoyed.
Xianyu was both happy and envious. She was still at the seventh grade with four spiritual roots, and she really wanted to awaken a new spiritual root.
I really hope the Dragon Gate opens soon!
After interrogating Dice with a lie detector, they learned the whole story of how the underground casino came to be.
A group of ninth-rank gray sable demons live in the treehouse on the west side of the outer city.
Seven years ago, a tree hole suddenly appeared under the treehouse where one of the gray sable demons lived.
The strange appearance of the tree hole made the gray sable demon afraid to go in and investigate. So, it sought help from a distant relative, a yellow sable demon living in a neighboring town.
Although the yellow weasel demon race is small, their talent level is much higher than that of the gray weasel demons.
They immediately dispatched dice, along with the two siblings, to come and help.
At that time, both the dice flower and the dice pair were low-grade demon cultivators of the fifth rank.
Dice Flower led them deep into the tree hollow to investigate, where they were parasitized by bloodworms and became puppets of the Blood Demon.
They opened underground casinos, attracting large numbers of gamblers to gather and earning Ten Coins while feeding Bloodworms with low-level monks whom no one cared about.
When they encounter a cultivator of a decent level, they force the cultivator to absorb the cultivator's soul core and transform into a heretical cultivator.
Alternatively, it could be used as a test subject, linked to the Asura artifact, to create a Bloodline Worm nest and provide energy to the Blood Demon.
The cultivators sighed in disbelief. Seven years, just seven short years, and absorbing the soul cores of other cultivators could turn a low-grade fifth-rank evil cultivator into a third-rank evil ancestor.
The temptation was immense; no wonder so many demon cultivators risked damaging their spiritual roots to betray the evil path.
Moreover, they provide energy to the Blood Demon.
Shen Yao recalled the Blood Demon's words: "Father, the Blood Demon is a wisp of divine consciousness of a god. How could a god bring disaster to the world?"
After deep thought, Huo Die replied to her: "There is no absolute justice in this world. Even a god with an unstable heart can fall and become a fallen god, an evil god, or a god of calamity..."
Shen Yao: "Father, can you calculate what kind of god's consciousness the Blood Demon possesses? And how many strands of that consciousness have been distributed throughout this world?"
Huo Die shook his head: "I can't calculate it, but if it's just a Divine Lord, its divine consciousness can only be divided into seven strands at most."
In other words, there were at most seven Blood Demons in the world, one of whom was killed by Shen Yao, leaving six remaining.
The slain Blood Demon is in the Dihe Secret Realm, and this one is in the Qilin Secret Realm.
The other five Blood Demons should be in other secret realms.
Hopefully, the other five Blood Demons haven't escaped yet.
Shen Yao felt immense pressure; she was still only an Immortal Ancestor, and she didn't know when she would be able to cultivate into a god.
I haven't even mastered the Thirteen Forms of Godslaying yet. I've only managed to get the first form, Drawing the Blade to Break the Wind, after several months.
It would take at least a hundred years to master the thirteen forms of the God-Slaying Blade Intent.
Even a hundred years is considered extremely fast, because she is perfectly suited to the God-Slaying Blade.
If the Blood Demon had escaped before she mastered the Thirteen Forms of Godslaying, the consequences would have been unimaginable...
Everyone understood the seriousness of the situation and knew that only Shen Yao could kill the Blood Demon.
Besides anticipation, they also worried about her.
As the city lord of Ruifeng City and the most prestigious leader of the demon race in the east, Liu Yucheng solemnly promised: "Miss Shen, I will gather all my strength to guard the Qilin Secret Realm. Before you are able to kill the Blood Demon, I will fight to the death to prevent the Blood Demon from escaping."
"You must return as soon as possible to slay the Blood Demon and eliminate this threat forever."
Shen Yao gave him a fist bump as a pledge: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, I will definitely slay the Blood Demon."
After burning the bloodworms that Liu Yucheng had sealed in the jar, Huo Die returned to the Qilin Secret Realm to set up a talisman fire array.
Their daughters and sons-in-law accompanied them. After the talisman fire array was set up, they bid farewell to Liu Yucheng and boarded a flower raft to head to Longquan Cliff.
It was the first time Xianyu had ridden a flower raft, and he kept praising Fengyu's craftsmanship in making magical artifacts.
A Meng and A Luo praised her, and Feng Yu blushed from their compliments.
It's rare to see Feng Yu blush; it's been a long time since she's blushed.
Back in the Feng family's villa, Feng Yu was a celestial being who would blush whenever someone met him. Now, you have to shower him with compliments to even see his shy side.
Shen Yao was stunned for a moment, as if she had returned to the time when they first met at the Feng family's villa.
After boasting for a while, Xianyu went to enjoy the scenery with Ameng and Aluo.
Shen Yao was still staring at the blush on Feng Yu's face.
Seeing how well-behaved she was, Feng Yu seized the opportunity to give her positive guidance.
He held Shen Yao's hand and instructed her like an elder brother: "Yanzhou, in the future, when you kill, even if you kill evil cultivators, you should kill them with one blow. Do not torture them. Too many tortures will affect your temperament, and your husband will worry about you."
Shen Yao nodded obediently: "Okay, I understand."
Feng Yu pressed on, "Don't play with fire carelessly, and never use fire to burn male cultivators again... it's not good for their character."
She listened to everything Feng Yu said: "Okay, I won't do it again."
The immortal lord was very pleased, for his wife was indeed teachable.
Recalling the scene of the black pig demon being burned, Tu Xiaoxiao's hair stood on end: "Brother Yunhe is right, Yaoyao, we can't play with fire anymore."
Shen Yao figured out her trick of talking nonsense, so she rolled her eyes and said matter-of-factly, "I'm just playing with fire, what's it to you?"
