Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 915 Piety
Outside the city was deathly quiet, with no signs of life to attract demons. Even the most bloodthirsty and mindless demons were mostly silent, except for the occasional wandering. Most of them stayed in one place, and no one knew whether they were practicing or sleeping.

But in Cangshui City, it is much more noisy.

Although the time is still short, this unprecedented group of demons has obviously evolved an order level belonging to the demon clan.

The foolish demons are obviously at the bottom of the demon race, and the intelligent demons are the real demons.

Although demons can switch freely between human form and demon form, it is obvious that the human form is not welcome among the demon community.

But it is undeniable that the vast majority of demons are evolved from humans and have completely inherited human memories, emotions, and corresponding living habits, which will inevitably affect the demon community.

Therefore, although the demons are a group of chaotic and evil, the most obvious characteristic of humans, order, is also extremely obvious in Cangshui City.

One can even see large and small forbidden formations in the city. Demons and monsters act like humans, walking around and talking in the streets and alleys. The houses and palaces that were once inhabited by people have also changed their appearance to adapt to the generally huge sizes of the demons and monsters.

Fortunately, in this outer city, most of the monsters are low- to medium-level monsters. These low-level monsters were obviously the ones that were eroded and evolved in the past, and inherited everything from humans. As the first batch of monsters, they naturally have enough intelligence.

As for the demon clan, they are undoubtedly lucky.

After all, the later demons, even if they had the high cultivation level of Golden Elixir or Nascent Soul during their lifetime, were forcibly evolved and had not been born into a self, so they did not have intelligence. They were just demons and beasts that acted on instinct and were in a daze.

Hiding in the darkness, Chu Mu stared at this strange yet familiar scene of order, and couldn't help but feel a bit strange and confused in his heart.

After a long while, he asked inexplicably:

"Can demons... reproduce?"

The head of the Changsheng Sect had a gloomy expression, and looked at the demon with a cold gaze: "The demon that can transform into a human form can reproduce by combining a man and a woman."

"The baby born has demon blood and is born with a soul. It can also switch between human and demon forms..."

Chu Mu asked again: "Unintelligent demons cannot reproduce?"

"These mindless demons cannot be considered true living beings. Strictly speaking, they should be considered as demon puppets or corpse puppets."

"But according to research, if these puppet-like demons devour enough living beings, they can gradually regain their memories, evolve into other selves, and become real demons."

Having said this, the Changsheng Sect Master sighed sadly: "In fact, this is the most terrifying thing."

"The demonic catastrophe broke out suddenly. Although there are quite a few cultivators who were eroded and transformed, compared to the countless cultivators in the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation World, it is only a very small part."

"The real key lies in the countless monks who were forcibly transformed into demons after the catastrophe broke out..."

"Moreover, demons hide their souls in their bodies. Soul-searching techniques and slave-seal control techniques are all ineffective against demons. Forcibly searching the soul and controlling it will only lead to being eroded by the demons..."

Chu Mu was silent, his heart feeling indescribably heavy.

In this world of immortal cultivation, the measure of a race's strength has never been based on power, but on wisdom.

After all, the limit of power is only the fourth level of perfection. Whether it is a human or a demon, even a monster, it is impossible to exceed this limit.

But for monsters, wisdom can only be acquired after they have transformed into the fourth level. Even if there are special cases where they can awaken their spirits early, they are definitely a minority.

This is even more true for demons. Even though a new race that has never existed before has eroded and evolved a large number of humans and demons, this is only a temporary force. Without the support of demons with enough wisdom, no matter how powerful they are, they will only be a pile of loose sand.

No matter how powerful you are, it will only be temporary.

Even if the demons can reproduce and cultivate new powers, it will take a long time to form a complete inheritance.

But the problem is that demons can not only reproduce and erode humans and demons, but there are also countless numbers of unintelligent demons as supplements, which are endless...

For any force or race in the world of immortal cultivation, war and conquest will inevitably mean damage, and it is not surprising that they will become weaker and weaker.

But for this clan of demons, this strange and bizarre ethnic group, war has become a means to enhance racial strength. As long as they are not crushed in one wave, it is inevitable that they will become bigger and stronger.

Facing such a powerful enemy, and the changes in the world...

Both of them were silent, moving forward silently in the darkness. The outer city was only the residence of low-level demons, and there was no secret in it for the two of them.

The real core key lies in the inner city.

The spiritual vein of Cangshui City is only ranked third. Even though the demons are a new race, their cultivation also depends on the spiritual energy after alienation.

Although a third-level spiritual vein can be used for fourth-level demons to practice, it would be extremely difficult.

In this case, even if there are fourth-level demons stationed in Cangshui City, they cannot be too strong.

The two of them, one in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul and the other in the great Nascent Soul stage, were enough to sweep through the Cangshui City at will. However, because they were worried about the perception of the alienated world and might alert the enemy, they tried their best to keep a low profile even after entering the city.

"This is……"

As soon as he entered the inner city, the scene that came into view made Chu Mu unable to help but be stunned.

He originally thought that the inner city was a demon society with a more strict order, but what he saw before him was completely different from what he expected.

In the huge inner city, all the former buildings have been razed to the ground, turning into a vast square.

The ground of the square is paved with square pieces of brown-red jade. In the center of the square is a towering altar that is hundreds of feet high.

The altar is also brown-red in color, with a square staircase leading directly to the top of the altar.

On top of the altar, there is a demon sculpture that is dozens of feet tall.

The square, the altar, and the sculptures were all covered with dense and mysterious patterns. Scarlet-red light flowed and flickered along the patterns, converging towards the demon sculpture on the altar.

And under the altar, there were countless demons crawling on the ground. Looking around, among the demons crawling on the square, the lowest-level demon had already reached the second level. In the front, there was a fourth-level demon kneeling and crawling.

All the demons were worshipping the demon sculpture on the altar.

The demon's brutality and bloodthirstiness were hardly noticeable in this square. It seemed to have completely disappeared, leaving only... piety!
Every demon under this sculpture is extremely pious!
