I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

"I am Shuten-doji, the chief demon general who leads the 'One Hundred Demons Night Parade'." He looked at Lin Hezhen with interest, "Young man, were you the one who just grabbed the dragon energy here? It shook the ground and almost caused our underground city to collapse."

Lin Hezhen readily admitted: "Yes, it's me. You live at the foot of Mount Fugaku? This is a good way to avoid the period of spiritual energy shortage."

Shuten-doji smiled and said, "There is nothing we can do. During the period of spiritual energy scarcity, the laws of heaven and earth are even more harsh on us demons. Not only is cultivation as difficult as ascending to heaven, but even our realm is suppressed. It is really frustrating."

"Really? Then I won't disturb your clan's rest and recuperation. Goodbye." After saying this, Lin Hezhen pulled Yukino away.

"Wait a minute."

Shuten-doji called out to the two masters, "You don't have to be so alert. I have no ill intentions. On the contrary, I just happen to have some information I want to tell you two."

"What information?"

"The secret of the Celestial Empire's cultivation world moving to another world, and why the Kamo family fell in love with this girl."

Chapter 123 Making Many Friends

"You two, please have some tea."

In the luxurious palace of the demon clan's underground city, Lin Hezhen and Yukino were sitting in the guest seats, the main seat was Shuten Douji, and Qingfangzhu stood next to him.

Lin Hezhen glanced cautiously at the steaming tea and didn't even touch it.

Shuten-doji said with a smile, "This fellow Taoist seems to be very young. He must have inherited the cultivation tradition of the Heavenly Kingdom in recent years and embarked on the path to immortality. Which sect did you follow? I have lived for more than a thousand years. At that time, the cultivation world of the Heavenly Kingdom had not yet ascended to another world. I know all the famous sects."

Lin Hezhen thought to himself, it turns out that I am another one of those people who thinks that I have had a lucky encounter and thus obtained the immortal cultivation inheritance of the Celestial Empire.

No wonder, most people would not think that he was a reincarnation.

Because whether it is possession of another's body or reincarnation, one needs to cultivate the Nascent Soul to do it. Otherwise, it is impossible to uncover the mystery in the womb, and there are no Nascent Soul cultivators in this world.

The reason why it took Lin Hezhen sixteen years to recover his memory was because his Nascent Soul still needed to travel through time and space, and a lot of spiritual energy was consumed along the way.

At this time, he did not correct the other party, but followed the other party's words and said: "I don't know my own master, and I am also very curious about the cultivation world in the Heavenly Kingdom. I hope you can help me solve my doubts."

"Okay." Shuten-doji took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "Thousands of years ago, the great masters of the cultivation world in the Celestial Empire calculated that they would soon enter a long period of spiritual energy shortage. After discussion, they decided to move the entire cultivation world to a different world suitable for cultivation."

"What kind of different world is it?" Lin Hezhen asked.

"I heard that it was discovered by chance by a Taoist monk from the Heavenly Kingdom. There is abundant spiritual energy, rich spiritual veins, and countless cultivation resources. Moreover, there is no intelligent life in that world yet, and the speed of time flow is 10:1 compared to our planet."

"The speed at which time flows..." Lin Hezhen touched his chin.

It has been a thousand years since the cultivation world of the Celestial Empire migrated there. In that world, they have spent ten thousand years.

Lin Hezhen suddenly remembered that the ancient book he had read in the sect's scripture library recorded that the history of the immortal world was 10,000 years, and that it was indeed moved from other worlds.

Could it be that this alien world where the Celestial Empire's cultivation world ascended to is the world of cultivation where he was before?

Things are getting interesting.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have the exact coordinates of that other world?"

"How could I have that?" Shuten-doji laughed, "I was sealed by that bald donkey Hongfa at the time, so I missed this grand event. I heard some of the information from other demon tribes."

Hearing this, Lin Hezhen felt a little regretful.

However, Shuten-doji went on to say, "Perhaps, those Onmyoji knew. They had close contacts with the Celestial Empire's cultivation world at the time, especially the Tsuchimikado family. Their main branch, the Abe clan, ascended with the Celestial Empire's cultivation world."

"Tsuchimikado?" It was the first time that Lin Hezhen heard of this family.

"That is a thousand-year-old Onmyoji family second only to the Kamo family. Their ancestor is the greatest Onmyoji genius in the history of the island nation - Abe Haruaki. It is said that Abe Haruaki once went to the Celestial Empire to study, so their family has a close relationship with the Celestial Empire's cultivation world and is at odds with the local Kamo family."

"However, after the Abe clan ascended to heaven, only the Tohgakure branch was left in the island nation. They were unable to fight against the Kamo clan and have become increasingly weak in recent years. However, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. After all, one of their clansmen participated in the ascension to another world a thousand years ago, so they may know the coordinates."

An Onmyoji family who might know the coordinates of the world of immortal cultivation and who is at odds with the Kamo family is indeed worth contacting.

Lin Hecheng said sincerely: "Thank you for letting me know. I will definitely repay you for this favor one day."

"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake for me." Shuten-doji laughed heartily.

"Then why is Yukinoshita being targeted by the Kamo family?"

"You may not know this yet, but this little girl actually has the bloodline of our demon clan, the Snow Girl. Her ancestor was the Snow Girl King, a former Golden Core Great Demon. In her body, her bloodline has undergone a reversion phenomenon. With just a little catalysis, she will transform into a pure-blooded demon."

Xue Nai suddenly had an idea and said, "Could it be that this monster called Qingfangzhu attacked me in order to catalyze my bloodline?"

Qingfangzhu shouted, "What do you mean by attack? I am purifying your blood. The Qianyin Stone I have integrated into your body will slowly stimulate your blood and make you a true Snow Girl Queen. Little girl, don't think I am harming you. I am saving you. Otherwise, those Yin Yang Masters will capture you and use you as a furnace."

"Furnace? What is that?" Yukino was confused.

Shuten-doji explained: "The furnace tripod is a female cultivator used by male cultivators to absorb Yin and replenish Yang. The furnace tripod exists only for male cultivators to absorb Yin and improve their skills. Female cultivators who are used as furnace tripods not only have no hope of practicing for life, but also have a very short lifespan. After their Yin is exhausted, they can only wait for death miserably."

Yukino's face turned pale when she heard this.

Although she didn't understand what Yin Yuan was and what Yin-Yang replenishment meant, she could guess that it was an evil method like absorbing the opponent's vitality.

Qingfangzhu added: "Because you have a strong bloodline and a high talent for cultivation, you are a top-notch furnace, so the Kamo family chose you. However, as long as you are willing to join our big family of demons, you can naturally be protected by us, and you don't have to be afraid of the Kamo family."

"If I join the demon tribe, what about my family?" Xueno asked hurriedly.

Even though she was disappointed with her family, they were still her family after all. Yukino was worried that if she ran away, the Kamo family would vent their anger on her family.

Shuten Douji shook his head and said, "Your family is just ordinary humans, and human Onmyoji and the demon race have a thousand-year blood feud. It may not be suitable for them to live with the demon race."

Hearing this, the light in Yukino's eyes dimmed.

If she was the only one who was saved and her family fell into misfortune, she would live with guilt for the rest of her life.

Lin Hezhen gently held her hand and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to turn into a monster. With me here, the Kamo family can't do anything to you."

After hearing his words, Yukino felt a lot more relieved.

For some reason, Yukino was full of confidence in him. Even when facing the Kamo family, the number one Onmyoji family in the island country, she firmly believed that this man would win.

Lin Hezhen turned to look at Shuten Douji and said, "You are a great demon in the Golden Core Stage, right?"

"Oh, you can see that? I clearly don't show any demonic aura at all." Shuten-doji was a little surprised.

Lin Hezhen smiled without saying anything. He possessed a Nascent Soul and his spiritual awareness was much stronger than Shuten Doji's, so it was naturally easy for him to see through his realm.

Shuten-doji didn't hesitate and admitted readily, "Yes, I am in the Golden Core stage, and I achieved the Golden Core a thousand years ago. Unfortunately, after entering the period of spiritual energy deficiency, my cultivation has not improved at all."

"Besides, because of the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth, I can't even use my full strength. I can only hide here and survive. The spiritual energy has recovered a little in recent years, so I can go out and relax occasionally."

"Compared to us demons, the human cultivators are less suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth, so their cultivation is relatively easier. They are worthy of being the most intelligent creatures in the world, which makes demons jealous."

Lin Hezhen nodded and said, "During the period of spiritual energy scarcity, cultivation is so difficult. I believe you have had a lot of friction with humans. I heard you say before that you have a thousand-year blood feud with human cultivators?"

Hatred was revealed in Shuten-doji's eyes. "We old guys are suppressed by the laws of heaven and earth. We can't take action and can only hide. Those little monsters lose their protection and become the best prey for Onmyoji. They slaughter the monsters, peel off their skin and bones, and use them as training resources. The Kamo family, in particular, is particularly cruel."

Hearing this, Lin Hezhen smiled and said, "I guess you guys want revenge too, right? Now that the spiritual energy has revived, the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth has loosened. Even if a Jindan cultivator attacks with all his strength, he won't be backlashed, right?"

Shuten-doji was cautious, and he laughed out loud:

"Hahaha, of course I hope to see the Kamo family destroyed. It's just that we are currently weak and have too few clan members. We are in urgent need of strengthening our forces, so we sent Qingfangzhu and his men to absorb new blood from the monster clan. As for revenge, we have endured it for a thousand years anyway, so it doesn't matter if we wait a few more years."

Lin Hezhen lowered his eyes and said calmly: "But if someone is going to cause trouble for the Kamo family in the near future..."

Shuten-doji's red eyes gleamed with two rays of light: "If that's the case, I don't mind stretching my muscles."

The eyes of the man and the demon met, and they instantly understood each other's meaning.

Lin Hezhen stood up and said goodbye, "I have gained a lot from having a long conversation with you today. I hope we can have another chance to communicate next time."

He took out a few talismans and handed them to the other party: "This is the 'Thousand Mile Sound Transmission Note'. Infuse your power into it, and you can talk to me."

"Oh, I haven't seen this thing since the entire cultivation world in Heaven moved. I didn't expect to receive it today." Shuten Douji took the talisman and felt deeply moved.

In the past, the spiritual practice circles of various countries were flourishing and a hundred schools of thought contended. All kinds of new and strange spells and innovative techniques emerged one after another. It was nothing like the current state of desolation and depression.

There are still a few long-lived old guys in the demon clan, but the lifespan of human cultivators is limited. After the death of the older generation, even the core inheritance is almost cut off for the descendants, and they can only practice while doing archaeology.

Now that spiritual energy has revived, it marks the eve of supernatural powers returning to the world stage.

Shuten-doji escorted the two out of the palace gate and said, "Today I am fortunate to have met a promising celestial monk. Yes, I am very happy. We will have a chance to drink together in the future. I love fine wine and have collected various treasures. I guarantee you will be reluctant to leave."

"Thank you for your courtesy, General. I will definitely visit you in the future." Lin Hezhen bowed and said goodbye to Shuten Doji.

Master Qingfang led the two to the exit of the underground city, and followed the winding underground cave all the way to the ground.

Lin Hezhen reached a tacit understanding with his own general, and Qingfangzhu's attitude towards them also became much warmer.

He reminded her, "Little girl, the Qianyin Stone I put into your body will constantly awaken your blood and spiritual roots. Even if you don't want to become a demon, you'd better find a sect to join. Otherwise, you might attract some unclean things, which will be detrimental to your personal safety."

"Is there such a thing?" It was the first time Yukino heard of it.

She looked at Lin Hezhen, and Lin Hezhen nodded slowly.

"Thank you for reminding."

Master Qingfang stopped at the entrance of the cave, bowed and said, "Take care, both of you. We'll see you later."

"See you later."

Lin Hezhen summoned the Fuyao Sword, sat on it with Xueno, and flew towards their apartment.

On the mountain top, a cold wind blows.

A drizzle started at some point, soaking Yukino's thin clothes and making her shiver involuntarily.

"Put it on, don't catch a cold."

Lin Hezhen took off his coat and handed it to her. With a wave of his left hand, a transparent cover appeared around the flying sword, isolating it from the cold wind and drizzle from the outside.

"Thank you." Yukino took the coat from his hand and wrapped it tightly around her body, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

What happened today was too shocking to her. After living in the modern technological society for more than ten years, this was the first time she came face to face with the mysterious and extraordinary world.

He met the famous demon king "Shuten Douji" of the island country and learned that he had the blood of a golden elixir demon.

Everything was so incredible, like an absurd dream, and like I had just woken up from it.

Only the young man beside me and his warm coat that he had just taken off were real.

……

When I returned to the apartment, it was already late at night.

The corridor was completely silent, with only a few automatic sensor lights emitting dim light.

Lin Hezhen said to Xue Nai, "For the time being, the distance between us cannot exceed five meters. We can't go back to our own homes tonight. I'll bring my bedding and stay at your house for the night."

"Why not go to your house?" asked Yukino.

Lin Hezhen said confidently: "I promised Mai that you can't bring other girls to my house to spend the night."

Xue No said angrily: "You really listen to your junior sister, you are indeed a sister-con."

"This is called a promise worth a thousand gold."

Yukino was still being upset: "If I don't take girls home to spend the night, then can I just spend the night at a girl's house? Your promises are so easy to circumvent."

"There's no other way. In order to save the life of an innocent girl, I have no choice but to sacrifice myself."

Lin Hezhen said this with a sad face, as if he was about to sacrifice himself to feed a tiger, a tigress at that.

"Hmph, shameless." Xueno said with a cold face. She turned around, took the key, opened the door and went in.

"Hey, I haven't gone home to get my bedding yet."

"I'm hungry. I want to eat first." Yukino replied without turning her head.

Lin Hezhen was shocked: "Oh, right, we haven't had dinner yet!"

In the evening, after they returned Takahashi's younger sister to Mrs. Takahashi, Yukino heard the prompt that the distance was shortened to 5 meters. Then Lin Hezhen immediately set up a formation and cast a spell, killing the guy who was behind the trick from a distance.

Afterwards, he led Yukino straight to Mount Fugaku to practice, and was later invited by Shuten Douji for a long talk.

It's almost 9 o'clock now, and the two of them haven't eaten a single grain of rice.

Xue Nai felt a little regretful and said, "I should have had a meal with the demon tribe before coming back."

"Are you stupid? Can you just eat a stranger's things?" Lin Hezhen was still overly cautious.

Yukino said worriedly, "What should we eat now? There's not much food left in the fridge."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll show you the skills of the 'cooking fairy'!" Lin Hezhen rolled up his sleeves and returned to his Hall of Heroes - the kitchen.

Chapter 124 Yukino's Unforgivable List

At night, the East City is so quiet that it seems unreal, accompanied by the cool summer breeze and shining neon lights.

Yukino Yukinoshita's house was very lively with the sound of clanging.
