Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

Su Chen pondered for a moment.

He understood what the old demon king meant.

This is not a casual question.

This concerns the lives of tens of thousands of demon warriors.

"senior."

Su Chen carefully considered his words before speaking.

To be honest...

"The sky over this Xuanhuang Continent now."

"Things have changed a long time ago."

Su Chen recounted the entire story of Master Hongfu to the old demon king.

From that one step that shattered the mountain gate of the Starry Sky Dao Sect.

Speaking of subduing the two giants, Xingluo and Xingkongdaojizong, overnight.

The old demon king listened intently.

The hand that was twirling its beard slowly stopped.

"Combined..."

The old demon king murmured, repeating those two words.

A turbulent storm surged within those murky eyes.

You mean...

"That Master Hongfu."

"Is it the Integration Realm?"

"Absolutely true."

Su Chen nodded.

"The senior is also a person who has lived for ten thousand years."

"You must understand the weight of the words 'merger' better than I do."

The old demon king fell silent.

for a long time.

He then slowly began to speak.

No wonder.

"No wonder there was such a strange phenomenon in Tian Shu Star City that day."

"Those old bastards couldn't even pay back half of what they broke up with."

Su Chen continued.

In my opinion...

"We absolutely cannot fight this battle against the demon race right now."

Why?

"You think about it."

Su Chen shrugged.

"Master Hongfu is a powerful being who has achieved the Unity Realm."

"Does your demon race currently possess any Nascent Soul cultivators capable of contending with us?"

The old demon king shook his head.

His eyes dimmed.

"no."

"The strongest members of our demon race are a few elders who are comparable to those at the Void Refinement stage."

"But now, most of them have been lost."

That solves it.

Su Chen said.

"Since there isn't one, the wisest course of action is to lie low."

"For hundreds of years, no one should provoke that true Buddha."

"Let's not even talk about the demon race."

Su Chen smiled.

"Now, on the human side..."

"The major sects, those demonic sects."

"Which one of them isn't tucking their tail between their legs and bowing their head in submission?"

"Everyone of them wished they could shrink themselves down, afraid of startling that person."

The old demon king listened and nodded repeatedly.

"That Master Hongfu is only at the early stage of the Integration Realm."

Su Chen paused.

"She was determined to fight against the Heavenly Dao again and ascend to the Spirit Realm once more."

"At the very least, he'll need to lie low for several hundred more years to recover his cultivation."

"After her battle."

"At that time, the demon race can decide whether to fight or make peace; it won't be too late."

Su Chen lowered his voice.

"not to mention."

"I've heard about your little world, senior."

"At most, it will be around two thousand years."

The old demon king's expression changed.

This matter is a top secret of the demon race.

Su Chen, a human cultivator, actually knew this?

"Senior, there's no need to be surprised."

Su Chen smiled.

"Princess, I mentioned it casually."

"Two thousand years is neither a long nor a short time."

"There are just too many variables involved."

"The demon race will eventually need to find a place to settle down and make a living in this human realm."

"If that's the case, why provoke that Master Hongfu at this critical juncture?"

After the old demon king finished listening...

For a long time, no words were spoken.

He slowly walked to the window of the main hall.

A gust of hot wind blew in from the window, stirring his black dragon robe.

"Well said."

After a long while, the old demon king finally uttered three words.

"Young Master Su."

"What you just said..."

"He's much more insightful than those lads of mine who only know how to shout and kill."

The old demon king turned around.

At this moment, a glint of shrewdness shone through those murky eyes.

"This battle."

"I've made up my mind."

"I'm not playing anymore."

"Lie low for now."

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, they managed to persuade the old demon king to stop.

...

"but."

The old demon king then changed the subject again.

Su Chen's heart jumped.

This old demon king, why does he have so many "buts"?

"Young Master Su."

The old demon king strolled back and took something out of his sleeve.

One pill.

"This is a Dragon Transformation Pill, a secret recipe of my demon race."

The old demon king handed the pill to Su Chen.

"After taking this pill, enter my demon race's spirit pool and cultivate for a while."

"I am confident that I can help you break through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop."

Su Chen was stunned.

Late Nascent Soul stage?

Good guy.

He had just been thinking that if he could reach the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, even if the Void Refiner wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to stop him from escaping.

"Senior, this..."

Su Chen accepted the pill but didn't rush to thank him.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

What is this old demon king after now?

"Don't thank me yet."

The old demon king seemed to have seen through Su Chen's thoughts.

"I have a condition."

"Please speak, senior."

"You little rascal."

The old demon king stared at Su Chen.

"I can tell."

"He is cunning, ruthless, and possesses great opportunities."

"From now on, he will surely become a force to be reckoned with among human cultivators."

"By then."

The old demon king spoke each word carefully.

"You must help the Lone Demon Clan."

"To find a place to settle down in this human world."

Su Chen remained silent.

This is no small matter.

The human and demon races have been fighting for so many years.

He was a human cultivator who helped the demon race settle down in the human realm.

If this gets out...

I'm afraid I'll be drowned in criticism.

Can...

Su Chen touched the dark green pill.

Then I looked into the storage bag and saw the two treasures.

The Dragon Transformation Pill can help one break through to the late stage of the Divine Transformation realm.

The temptation is too great.

Moreover.

Two thousand years ago.

There are many variables.

Who can say for sure what the world will be like then?

Let's agree first, then talk about it.

"make a deal."

Su Chen grinned.

"I will remember this favor, senior."

"If that day ever comes."

"I, Su, will certainly do my utmost."

The old demon king also laughed.

That old face, etched with deep wrinkles, smiled like a withered chrysanthemum in full bloom.

...

That spirit pool is hidden beneath a volcano in the deepest part of the demon city.

That's strange.

It's clearly a volcano.

The water in that pool was a deep, dark blue.

A refreshing coolness emanated from the pool water.

Su Chen swallowed the Dragon Transformation Pill.

He felt a warm current burst forth from his dantian.

Su Chen didn't hesitate. He found a secluded corner and plunged into the spirit pool.

The water from that pool touched my body.

Su Chen felt so comfortable that he almost groaned out loud.

Good guy.

The spiritual energy in this spirit pool is so dense that it's almost impossible to dissolve.

Su Chen sat cross-legged and activated his cultivation technique.

The rich spiritual energy was enveloped in the medicinal power of the Dragon Transformation Pill.

It all rushed into his body at once.

Su Chen felt that his cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm was a barrier.

It's loosening little by little.

I don't know how much time passed.

Su Chen was immersed in the profound mystery of that breakthrough.

Unbeknownst to them, a figure quietly crept to the edge of the spirit pool.

That's Yue Li.

That girl probably doesn't trust Su Chen.

They came looking for us.

Upon seeing Su Chen, he found him meditating with his eyes closed in the pool.

Yue Li shouldn't be disturbed.

I simply found a rock and sat down.
