Starting as a stray dog, I embarked on a journey of cultivation.

"An ancient, untamed beast?"

This was the first time Gou An had ever heard of this term. What exactly was a wild beast?

The question had barely arisen when their conversation provided Gou An with an explanation.

"I heard that the wild beast used to be a demon beast, but after cultivating to the ninth level of demon beast, it did not break through to transform into human form."

"You can do that?"

"I also heard the King mention it once: after a demon beast reaches the ninth rank, if it chooses to retain its beast form and continue cultivating, it can transform into a wild beast."

"Legend has it that hundreds of thousands of years ago, all the monsters were cultivating towards the direction of wild beasts. Later, someone found the path to break through and transform into human form, and the monsters were so envious that they all began to cultivate towards human form."

"In time, there will naturally be no more wild beasts in the world."

After hearing the explanation, another demon general immediately asked, "Actually, I still don't understand why Your Majesty is so insistent on searching for this snow-covered beast?"

"I don't know either! I've only heard that this wild beast has something the king wants, something very precious."

"I wonder what kind of treasure it is that made the King come here to search for it for so many years."

"You should know that even a powerful human cultivator, after reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul realm, only has a lifespan of three to five thousand years, while this ancient beast has lived for over ten thousand years."

"So that means that our transformation into human form was actually the wrong cultivation path? We've lost half our lifespan?" another demon general exclaimed in surprise.

"That makes sense, but there are advantages to taking human form, aren't there?"

"But since it's an ancient beast, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to go?" The demon general began to feel uneasy.

"What are you afraid of!" The demon general who answered him smiled and said, "Wild beasts have long since disappeared. This one in this snowy region is not alive, but frozen in ice."

Gou An hid in the shadows, listening to their conversation, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart.

However, his subconscious told him that often, any frozen monster or sealed demon could be unsealed if someone went to him.

So it's still not advisable to go.

So Gou An continued to hide in the shadows, hoping to leave as soon as the two guys finished talking.

To Gou An's surprise, these two guys were really good at talking.

They chatted until dawn, from ancient beasts to cultivation insights, and then from cultivation to which female demon in the cave, besides the king, was the most attractive.

Gou An was so tired of listening that, seeing no chance to slip away, he had no choice but to return to his room.

Before long, someone came to inform them to meet in the main hall.

When Gou An arrived at the main hall, everyone had already arrived.

Besides Gou An, Xueyin also had twelve demon generals with her, all of whom were at the Demon Transformation Realm.

As soon as they stepped off the flying boat, a large flying boat was already hovering over the cliff.

After boarding together, the airship slowly rose into the air, and once it reached a certain altitude, it gradually accelerated towards one of the snowy regions.

In addition to this main flying ship, there were three other flying ships following behind, carrying many demon soldiers with lower cultivation levels.

On the flying boat, the demon generals got to know each other well and chatted enthusiastically.

Gou An was somewhat unfamiliar with them, so he stood silently in the corner, minimizing his presence, and was still thinking about how to slip away.

At this point, it would be possible to jump off the airship, but the airship was clearly heading deeper into the snowy region.

In other words, we are now getting further and further away from the snowy region, and without a flying boat to carry us through the cold, the danger of getting lost in the snowy region is still too great.

After all, this place can freeze even ancient beasts that have been frozen for thousands of years, let alone himself?

After sailing for a long time, the airship finally came to a slow stop.

The area was shrouded in wind and snow, and the temperature was bitterly cold, causing the flying boat to sway and rock violently in the wind.

Looking down at the airship, all that could be seen was a vast expanse of white; there was no snow valley in sight.

"Your Majesty, the snowstorm is too severe; it's difficult to land!"

The demon general in charge of piloting the flying boat shouted loudly into the cabin.

Upon hearing this, Xueyin came out of the cabin and took out a round bead with a flip of her hand.

He tossed the bead in his hand into the air, and it immediately flew high into the sky, shooting out a blinding white light before starting to spin rapidly.

Then, a scene that shocked Gou An unfolded: the raging blizzard suddenly converged entirely on the bead.

The bead was like a giant vacuum cleaner, sucking in all the snow and wind, and in the end, the sky cleared up!

What a wonderful baby!

want to!

Gou An clicked his tongue, filled with envy.

As the snowstorm subsided, Xueyin reached out and beckoned to the sky, and the bead flew back into her hand.

Immediately afterwards, Xueyin flew out of the flying boat, hovered above the snowfield, and slapped the ground with her palm after gathering her strength.

With a loud bang!

The ground shook!

The accumulated snow collapsed, revealing a deep, bottomless rift valley in the snowfield.

"The flying boats are stationary on the ground. Everyone, enter the valley!" The deer demon general immediately shouted the order to everyone.

Then all the flying boats came to rest on the flat ground near the rift valley, with a demon general and some demon soldiers left to guard them.

The remaining demon generals and soldiers followed the demon king Xueyin deeper into the rift valley, descending the slope to the bottom.

The rift here is extremely deep. Although it is clear above, the bottom of the rift is pitch black, so the demon soldiers can only use their glowing magical artifacts to illuminate the surroundings.

The rock walls on both sides of the rift were extremely hard; Gou An tapped them with his hand, and they felt like steel.

However, Gou An noticed that in many crevices of the rock wall, there were various kinds of snow-covered spiritual herbs, and they were all quite old.

Combining this with the information he had gathered earlier, Gou An had already roughly figured out what was going on in his mind.

The Demon King Xueyin trained laborers everywhere, whether they were human cultivators or demon cultivators, and threw them into various parts of the snowy region, using the scarcity of resources to force these laborers to search for spiritual herbs throughout the snowy region.

If they discover a hidden place like this snow valley, the spiritual herbs they hand over will surely be rare and ancient.

Once such a discovery is made, one can follow the clues to find the place where the magical herb grows.

Such a place is more likely to contain ancient, frozen beasts that have existed for millennia.

The group soon came to a fork in the road and stopped.

Xueyin immediately gave the order to have General Lu lead half of the men to split up and act, while she led the other half.

Gou An naturally chose to follow the Demon King Xueyin and continued to mingle in the middle of the group without uttering a sound.

With demon soldiers clearing the way in front and covering the rear, even if there is danger, I won't be the first to die.

After walking for a long time, the group found themselves at a fork in the road again, this time with three separate paths.

Demon King Xueyin had no choice but to divide the team into three groups again, each continuing their search.

Gou An continued to blend into the group led by the Demon King Xueyin, remaining vigilant at all times.

Although there was no danger along the way, they did not let their guard down.

Unlike Gou An, whose nerves were constantly on edge, the demon soldiers who led the way were no longer as wary as they had been when they first descended the valley.

It was at this moment that a sudden change occurred.
