Chapter 904: Meeting the Scorpion Woman Again
Chapter 904 – Encountering the Scorpion Woman Again
The devil body explained as it sped along.
“I met Scorpion Granny Woman in Yellow Sand City, if she can’t hang around in Dark Night City, she probably went back to Yellow Sand City.”
Xu Chuniang said noncommittally, “Then let’s go to Yellow Sand City and take a look.”
Huangsha City was adjacent to Dark Night City, and with Xu Chuniang’s current recluse speed, it only took a day’s work to arrive at Huangsha City.
The demonic body stood on top of the tall city wall, and vast grinding thoughts spread out from all parts of the city, sweeping every corner.
Finally, when the devil thought swept to an inconspicuous place in the inner city, the devil body’s heart moved, “There!”
In the next moment, the demonic body directly disappeared from its original location and noiselessly dived into the inner city.
“Scorpion Lady.”
Scorpion Granny Woman snapped her eyes open, waking up from her meditation and pushing the door open.
Upon seeing the visitor, a clear look of surprise flashed across her eyes as she bowed towards Xu Chuniang, “My lord, you’ve finally found me!”
The demonic body let out a light laugh, her gaze sweeping over the Scorpion Lady’s new body, “Not bad, actually breaking through to the Refined Void stage.”
Scorpion granny’s face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head, “This body of mine is not very well qualified, and after cultivating for more than ten years, I have only barely advanced to the Refined Void Stage.
Speaking of which, my fourth body was erased of its sanity and refined into a puppet, with only some instincts left, I still have to thank Your Excellency for rescuing me from my puppet body.”
“Just a matter of passing by.”
The demonic body waved its hand, “Do you still remember how you were refined into a puppet?”
The Scorpion Woman tried to recall, “One night, my divine soul was attacked and I fell unconscious, and when I woke up again, I was already trapped in the puppet body.”
After listening to Scorpion Lady finish her story, the demonic body casually waved out a demonic thought, leaving a brand deep within Scorpion Lady’s divine soul.
“I will let your cultivation advance to the Harmonization Stage as soon as possible and become the City Lord of Yellow Sand City.”
The Scorpioness’s mind trembled as she raised her head to look straight at Xu Chuniang, then quickly lowered her head again.
“What price do I need to pay?”
The devil body raised an eyebrow, satisfied with the Scorpion Granny’s understanding, “After becoming a Demon King, you need to pass the Demon Emperor’s test and travel to Spirit Demon Island.”
“Spirit Demon Island? It’s that legendary place that only opens once in ten thousand years, where cultivators from both the Spirit and Demon realms can arrive?”
A difficult look appeared on the Scorpion Woman’s face, “Let’s put aside how difficult it will be for me to become the Lord of Yellow Sand City, each Demon Emperor has a dozen or so Demon Kings under his rule, and the chances of wanting to stand out amongst so many Demon Kings and be seen by the Demon Emperor are very slim.”
“Don’t worry, I will help you, with me here, I can naturally make it smooth for you to be recognized by the Demon Emperor. When you enter Spirit Demon Island, you can bring two attendants along with you, I want a quota for these two attendants.”
The Scorpion Lady nodded, and in the next moment, she saw that in front of her, a fresh corpse appeared, with a face that looked vaguely familiar, as if she had glimpsed it from afar somewhere in the city.
Her pupils dilated violently a little, “My lord, this is?”
“A late stage Void Refining corpse, the divine soul is still alive, the sooner you refine it, the greater the benefits you will receive.”
The demonic body gave a slight lurch and looked towards the Scorpion Lady.
“From today onwards, I will provide you with the resources you need for cultivation, remember what I said, break through to the Harmonization Stage earlier, only then will you be qualified to work for me.”
Scorpion granny woman kneeled down on one knee and solemnly kowtowed to Xu Chuniang, “Don’t worry, my lord, I will definitely work hard on my cultivation, and will never fail to live up to your high expectations!” The Devil’s Voice nodded slightly, not bothering to find another place to live, and after looking around the Scorpion Granny’s place, he took over the main courtyard in a dignified manner, and set up a boundary in the courtyard in passing.
With her cultivation at the Transition Stage, the amount of demonic qi in the outside world almost had no effect on her anymore.
As long as she could carry through the forty-nine tribulations of the Transitional Tribulation Stage, she would be able to smoothly advance into the Mahayana Stage.
After setting up the boundary, the demonic body pondered.
“You purposely didn’t let the two of us fuse our divine souls together, just so that the tribulations would be spread out over the two bodies when the tribulation was answered?”
“Not bad.”
Xu Chuniang frankly admitted, “You and I were originally separated from one body, and your cultivation is comparable to mine, so naturally you can merge into one at the right time.
Although we have yet to fully merge so that our divine souls are completely fused together, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, we are one.”
The demonic body didn’t say anything, the fact that the main body could think of this way of dispersing the risks of the Transitional Soul Stage was something she hadn’t envisioned.
However, it had to be said that this was a good method, and both the principal body and the demonic body could benefit from this.
“When did you, when did you think of this method?”
“When you were borrowing the sun and moon to quench your body, the idea sprang up when I discovered that aura and demonic aura could use Yuan Qi as a medium to transform into each other.
Anyway, there are still a few hundred years of time before Spirit Demon Island begins, so it’s idle to be idle, and if I can rush through the Transitional Tribulation Stage before entering Spirit Demon Island, it’s just that I can make a big kill after entering Spirit Demon Island.”
Saying that, Xu Chuniang winked, “Spirit Demon Island has existed for ages, and it is said that the island hides the secret of becoming a True Demon and a True Immortal, aren’t you curious?”
Of course she was curious!
The demonic body ground her teeth unwillingly, ever since she had learned of the existence of the Spirit Demon Island, she had regarded the True Demon opportunities that might exist within it as her own.
However, what she hadn’t expected was that the body, which seemed to follow the rules, actually acted even more boldly than she did!
To dare to use the body of a spiritual cultivator to borrow this demonic body of hers to hide in the Demon Realm, and even drilled into the loopholes of the Heavenly Dao.
The demonic body rubbed her face, a rare feeling of frustration arose, and then secretly felt ridiculous, what was the point of comparing her to herself?
If it wasn’t for this body transforming its aura into Yuan Qi and pouring it into her body, if she alone wanted to break through the Harmonization Stage, it would not be something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.
“Then for the next few hundred years, let’s secretly support the Scorpion Woman to become the Demon King of Huangsha City, and respond to the tribulation in the meantime.”
“In addition to that, you also need to master the method of converting demonic qi into yuan qi, and strive to convert all the demonic qi in your body into yuan qi as soon as possible.”
Speaking here, Xu Chuniang paused briefly, “Of course, if you are unsure, I can show you my memories.”
The demonic body was split off from the main body, and the main body could probe into the memories and experiences of the demonic body at any time, and conversely, the memories and experiences of the main body would not be probed into at will.
“There’s no need, I’ve long had a clue, converting demonic energy into Yuan Qi is just a matter of time.”
The demonic body coldly rejected Xu Chuniang’s proposal, when the sun was first expelled, the daylight would strip the demonic qi in her body into yuan qi on a daily basis, and if she wanted to achieve her goal, she only needed to restore this step.
“Alright, in that case, I’ll get busy first, don’t disturb me for nothing.”
With that, Xu Chuniang quieted down completely, utilizing the Yuan Qi within her demonic body to transform into a variety of law threads, twisting them into a small ball of laws before sealing it with the law of confinement.
In this way, this tiny orb of laws formed the gray orb that she had previously used against the Demon Emperor.
