Nuwa, the goddess of immortality, said that cultivating immortality does not require spiritual energ

After a day of exchanges and battles, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Le gathered all the human students in the hall of their residence for a routine debriefing and summary.

As the debriefing drew to a close, Qin Le suddenly made a suggestion that surprised many people.

"Actually," he said, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Chen Yun, his tone earnest, "you can all learn a lot from Chen Yun. There are many valuable insights from his battle today."

"Huh? Copy him?" Chu Xiaonan scratched his head, somewhat puzzled. "His 'feeding food' tactic definitely won't work tomorrow, right? The demons aren't stupid; they won't fall for it a second time, will they?"

Although Chen Yun's move was unexpected and had a great comedic effect, most people saw it as a typical one-off tactic that was easily seen through after being used only once.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be 'feeding' them with delicious food," Chen Yun chimed in, a smug look on his face. "The key is to 'distract the opponent.' As long as we achieve that goal, what methods can't we try? Feigning weakness, verbally interfering, creating surprises... as long as it doesn't break the rules, any tactic that leads to victory is a good one!"

His brief explanation immediately brightened the eyes of many people.

"I see! That opens up a new perspective!"

"Got it! The key is 'distraction' and 'creating opportunities'!"

"Hehe... I think I've come up with a new idea."

"I also have an 'interesting' idea, I'll try it tomorrow!"

"This tactic... is a bit 'dirty,' but I like it!"

"..."

Inspired by Chen Yun's words, everyone's minds were filled with all sorts of imaginative, even somewhat unscrupulous, battle strategies. They were all eager to get to work and couldn't wait for tomorrow to arrive so they could test their skills on the demon race's prodigies.

The following third day, fourth day, fifth day...

The battle situation indeed became more unpredictable and volatile.

The human students displayed the adage "all's fair in war" to its fullest extent, employing a variety of ingenious, bizarre, and underhanded tactics that left many of the demon prodigies bewildered and unable to defend themselves.

The month-long exchange battle passed in the blink of an eye.

After an initial period of adjustment, the younger generation of demons demonstrated their learning and adaptability.

Although they still lose more often than they win, they are improving every day. They have gradually become able to see through and deal with the various methods used by humans, instead of being completely at a loss at first.

On the last day, the human students had a total of 201 wins, while the demon students had 197 wins.

The two sides were almost evenly matched, with each winning and losing, and the difference was negligible.

If the exchange battle continues for a while longer, the balance of power may indeed tilt towards the more adaptable demon race.

The exchange battle officially ended, but the human students did not immediately set off to return home.

According to the agreement, they can stay in the demon realm for another five days.

These five days are reserved for the younger generation of both sides to get to know each other better and try to establish a bloodline contract.

The month-long competition was both a contest and a showcase.

Without these battles allowing the demon race to witness the potential, character, and strength of the younger generation of humans, the success rate of discussing such a significant matter as a bloodline contract upon arrival would likely be extremely low.

On the first morning after the exchange battle ended, Qin Le went directly to the Demon Lord Ye Li.

"You were looking for me?" Ye Li was a little surprised to see Qin Le take the initiative to come to her.

"Senior Ye Li," Qin Le bowed, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, "I have a favor to ask... Could you allow me to take a look at the 'Primordial Ancestral Image' of the demon race?"

"The Primordial Ancestral Image?" Ye Li raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of inquiry flashing in her golden eyes. "That thing is of no benefit to you human cultivators, and may even conflict with your human foundation due to the demonic origin Dao essence it contains. How could you have such a thought?"

"It's purely out of curiosity," Qin Le said candidly with a smile.

Ye Li stared at him quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "Since that's the case... then let's go."

Without asking any further questions, she raised her hand and made a sweeping motion in the air. Space was easily torn open like a piece of cloth, forming a stable portal. From the other end came a vast and ancient aura, which was the passage leading to the core forbidden area of ​​the demon race—the ancestral land.

"Thank you for your kindness, senior."

Qin Le thanked him sincerely, then stepped into the spatial portal without hesitation, his figure disappearing inside.

The portal slowly closed.

Almost at the same moment Qin Le's figure disappeared, the air around Ye Li rippled slightly, and the figures of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and the burly tiger-clan man quietly appeared.

The burly tiger-man frowned, looking at Ye Li with a serious tone: "You're just going to let a human into our ancestral land like this? Isn't that far too rash!"

Although the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox did not speak, a hint of disapproval and scrutiny lingered in its captivating eyes.

Ye Li smiled dismissively and countered, "What impact would his entry have on our demon race? Or rather... what kind of unbearable destruction do you think he could cause?"

"That's our ancestral land!" the burly tiger-man emphasized. "What if he..."

"I do hope so," Ye Li interrupted him, a hint of anticipation even appearing in her eyes, "that he can really 'cause some trouble' in there."

"Um?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox and the burly tiger were both taken aback and looked at her in confusion.

"You should know what the original ancestral statue is like now." Ye Li's tone became somewhat low.

Upon hearing this, both of them looked disheartened.

The ancestral land of the demon race has experienced countless wars from ancient times to the present, especially the tragic conflict that swept across the three realms. Many original ancestral statues have long been damaged, broken, or even completely destroyed in the flames of war.

The remaining ones have mostly lost much of their Daoist essence, making it difficult for them to provide effective guidance for future generations.

Ye Li continued, her eyes gleaming, "If he really 'accidentally' damaged the few remaining ancestral statues... wouldn't we have an excellent reason to 'ask' him for help, to 'invite' His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor back to... repair, or even recast, all the original ancestral statues for us?"

The nine-tailed celestial fox and the burly tiger clan man exchanged a glance and instantly understood Ye Li's scheme. A similar expectant smile involuntarily appeared on their faces.

"So that's what you were planning!" The burly tiger-man suddenly realized.

In the Three Realms today, who can contact the demon emperor Di Jun, who has long since left and whose whereabouts are unknown?

Aside from the two demon saints, Donghuang Taiyi and Bai Ze, who are equally detached from worldly affairs and almost indifferent to worldly matters, there is probably only this young man—his master is the goddess Nuwa!

If Qin Le were to ask for it, the Goddess Nuwa would likely not refuse to relay the message.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox sighed softly, regaining her composure: "The idea is good... but given that kid's character, I'm afraid he wouldn't do something like 'vandalizing public property'."

She had some understanding of Qin Le's personality.

"It's alright." Ye Li waved her hand and smiled, "If this plan fails, we'll just be back to square one. If all else fails, after some time, we can prepare generous gifts and pay a sufficient price to openly ask him for help in mediating. That's not impossible. It's just that the 'price'..."

She rubbed her temples, a hint of distress in her eyes: "I've thought and thought, but I can't think of anything that could move him. That kid doesn't seem to have much desire for material things."

"This is indeed a difficult problem." The burly tiger-man stroked his chin, looking troubled. "That kid has even reserved the fierce weapons in the Heavenly Court's treasury. Ordinary treasures and resources probably won't even catch his eye."

"Yes," the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox nodded in agreement. "His potential is limitless, and with the guidance of a sage master, his future is boundless. It's really hard to find a 'price' that can move him and that we can offer."

The three powerful demons fell into deep thought for a moment.

After a while, the burly tiger seemed to have suddenly thought of a brilliant idea. His eyes lit up, he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and looked at Ye Li mischievously. However, his thick finger pointed to the peerless nine-tailed celestial fox beside him:

"Hey! How about... we give her to that kid as his Daoist partner? I think he's quite handsome, and his cultivation potential is undeniable. It wouldn't be an insult to our fox clan's number one beauty, would it? Is this 'generous gift' worthy enough?"

"..."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ye Li's expression froze instantly, her eyes widening in astonishment.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's stunningly beautiful face flushed red at a visible speed, followed by a surge of immense rage!

"You—you—idiot—!!!"

She practically spat out those words through clenched teeth. The next moment, nine fluffy, soft fox tails instantly swelled, transforming into nine afterimages that tore through the air, carrying terrifying power as they lashed solidly at the tiger-man's body!

Bang—Boom!

Before the tiger-tribe strongman could even let out a scream, he was sent flying like a cannonball!

The solid stone wall was smashed open like paper, leaving a large hole. Amidst the billowing dust, the figure of the tiger-tribe strongman had already disappeared into the distant horizon, leaving only a series of increasingly distant rumbling sounds, as if some building had been collapsed...

"snort!"

The nine-tailed celestial fox, still seething with anger, retracted its tail, its chest rising and falling slightly, its exquisite face still shrouded in frost.

Ye Li looked at the large hole in the wall, then at the angry-looking Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and finally just shook her head helplessly, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on her lips.

This suggestion... is really quite audacious.
