Chapter 1024: The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King's Opportunity

Not knowing how far he had run, when the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King stopped, he felt his whole body had been emptied.

His Buddha Light faded, he hid beneath the earth, absorbing the earth's power to restore himself.

That inner core gradually filled; he dared not forcefully draw it, but restored it bit by bit, not wanting to attract others' attention.

"Hoo hoo, you scared me to death; Tianwai truly is terrifying, even a random person appearing is a great terror."

"Yellow Eyebrow Buddha Disciple, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, why would he set his sights on me?"

"Or perhaps he was after me from the start, and the True Macro Buddha Disciple he mentioned; it seems the Buddha Light on me was arranged by the True Macro Buddha Disciple. The conflict between the two Buddha Disciples of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple is truly frightening."

"The opportunities I received were given by the True Macro Buddha Disciple; his Buddhist cultivation surpasses mine. If I can fully comprehend them, my strength will rise at least several grades."

"The Great Compassion technique I practice aligns with the True Macro Buddha Disciple's method; the Buddha Light I absorb shows no abnormality, being of the same origin, and the absorption yields double results with half the effort."

The benefit was obtained, but likewise, other Strong Ones have set their sights on him.

For the coming period, he must not reveal himself, lest they discover him; whether it's the True Macro Buddha Disciple or the Yellow Eyebrow Buddha Disciple, neither is someone he can handle. Facing such great terror, the Ten Thousand Poison Demon King has no power to resist, just as when confronting Chen Chuyang, that sense of powerlessness makes him feel despair again.

"Hoo hoo hoo, this time I'm lucky, escaped a disaster; fortunately the Yellow Eyebrow Buddha Disciple harbors no malice toward me, otherwise I'd have to die again."

"Forget it, regardless of this, first increase my cultivation; my strength is ultimately too weak."

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King again realized a truth: in Tianwai, strength is the foundation; everything else is illusion.

Without strength, one is like a bereaved family's dog, can only run away and pray not to be targeted.

From the Toad Venerable to the Yellow Eyebrow Buddha Disciple, all are terrifying; he cannot deal with them.

"Just escaped the Toad Stomach, now into the Buddha Disciple nest; I'm truly unlucky."

"However, isn't this precisely where my opportunity lies? Those Buddha Lights, those Buddhist teachings—if I can fully comprehend them, the True Destiny Realm is no problem."

True Realm, not a problem.

That is merely the True Person Realm; he is now in the first heaven of the True Person Realm, having successfully broken through the True Realm.

Having devoured all of the Toad Venerable, he successfully took this step forward.

But the Toad Venerable's own power he cannot fully transmute.

Transmuting all of the Toad Venerable, along with those Buddha Lights, his strength can at least reach the peak of the True Person Realm.

The process is merely long; transmutation is not easy.

"I don't know whether Excellency White Deer King has arrived in Tianwai, or if he is still hesitating?"

The void road is not easy to travel; there are too many Strong Ones, even now he has no certainty.

Excellency White Deer King's strength is great, but against those Tianwai Strong Ones, it is still insufficient.

Unless it's that demon seed Chen Chuyang, only then could one pass through the void into Tianwai.

"Chen Chuyang, this person truly is a demon seed; even now I cannot see through his strength."

That person has always been a mystery, his strength rising too quickly.

After such a long time, Chen Chuyang is likely even more terrifying; that's fine, he can protect that world.

"Chen Chuyang, wait, I, the Demon King, will soon catch up to you, perhaps even surpass you."

The Ten Thousand Poison Demon King clenched his fist, setting a goal in his heart.

Then he continued delving underground, carving out a cave residence beneath the earth for his cultivation.

Tianwai is vast.

Cangzhou.

A massive territory, countless mountain ranges, danger everywhere.

Within a forest of Cangzhou, two figures descended.

The void passage vanished instantly; without time to react, the two bodies fell quickly. Qinglong Daoren swiftly steadied his form, entered the forest, and Elder Xinran followed his steps, moving forward rapidly.

Entering the mountains, they ran a very long distance; after ensuring no one followed, they finally halted.

Qinglong Daoren quickly set up a Formation, enveloping the two and the peak, after which they sat down.

"Hoo hoo, Tianwai truly is different; the spiritual energy density is rich, even in such a place it is more than ten times that of Longshe Shan. With this density and the various spiritual herbs of this realm, one can't help but be envious."

Qinglong Daoren glanced at the peak; an unremarkable mountain, just one among many peaks.

Spiritual energy surrounds, not a spiritual vein, yet it is enviable.

Within the mountains, the spiritual energy is very dense, slightly denser than outside.

Similarly, the forest is fraught with danger; along the way they avoided many scans, and numerous Strong Ones were eyeing them, searching for their silhouettes.

Most were demonic beasts; demonic beasts that can survive in the forest are not simple.

The weakest are Core‑Condensing level demonic beasts, and there are also some True Person Realm demonic beasts; these are not simple, and they are numerous.

This is still the outskirts of the mountain range, not the central area.

If it were the central area, it would be even more dangerous, even more terrifying.

Qinglong Daoren dared not advance further, nor release his own aura and bloodline power; in this unfamiliar place and environment, surrounded by danger, a slight slip could get him spotted and then face relentless, unending pursuit.

Elder Xinran's complexion turned slightly pale, sighing, "This place is truly dangerous; True Person Realm demonic beasts number at least twenty. This is still the outskirts of the mountain range, not the core area. Fortunately our landing spot is not the core; otherwise you and I might meet our end here."

"Tianwai truly is dangerous; did Excellency White Deer King and his party encounter such dangers when they entered Tianwai before?"

If so, most of them face more misfortune than luck.

In such a terrifying place, without Qinglong Daoren, relying on Elder Xinran alone could likely lead to battle and injury.

"I don't know, Tianwai indeed is not simple; this place is quite good, the spiritual energy density is rich, suitable for our cultivation."

"Even without spiritual veins, there is such spiritual energy density; Tianwai truly enjoys heavenly favor. Among these peaks surely lie spiritual veins, and there are many of them."

Perhaps high‑grade spiritual veins are all present.

Then he can find some high‑grade spiritual veins, bring them back to Longshe Shan, enhance Longshe Shan's veins, thereby feeding back to that realm.

"Do you plan to reside here?" Elder Xinran sensed Chen Chuyang's implication; this place indeed suits cultivation.

It's just that it's very dangerous.

In such a place, others who enter think first of leaving quickly, not staying; it's too dangerous, they could die here at any time.

And Chen Chuyang… oh, no, it's Qinglong Daoren who is different; he does the opposite, staying here to cultivate.

It seems Qinglong Daoren intends to settle down here permanently to cultivate; this decision is very dangerous and very bold.
