Chapter 57: Child of the Demon God

This world is not inhabited by humans alone.

Beyond the Four Great Divine Continents, demons and other outsiders mostly live on various islands and wastelands with harsh environments.

Of course, this is what human cultivators claim internally.

The specific situation, in fact, has some discrepancies.

The regions outside Shenzhou are indeed slightly inferior in every aspect, but it is not as if places with excellent environments do not exist.

There are also top-tier cultivation holy lands, no worse than the Secret Realms within Shenzhou.

Demon Emperor City is one of the most dazzling holy lands among them.

At this moment, in a building within Demon Emperor City, a soldier with a wolf's head and a human body kneels respectfully before a door.

"Mingyue Daren, what business do you have for your subordinate?"

Unexpectedly, unlike its fierce appearance, this werewolf's voice is very crisp and sounds quite young.

A lazy yet alluring voice drifts from behind the door, and she asks:

"Canglan, do you know of the Heavenly Fox Demon God of our Demon Race?"

Blinking its eyes strangely, the werewolf known as Canglan answers in confusion:

"Yes, this subordinate has naturally heard of it."

This is common knowledge that even children would know; why would Mingyue Daren ask such a question?

Although Mingyue Daren lives a low-key life, she is the most famous Great Priestess in Demon Emperor City, and her status is extremely transcendent.

Then, Mingyue Daren says again:

"Then do you know that the Heavenly Fox has actually been born for a full hundred years?"

What!?

"Daren, is this true?"

If the Heavenly Fox Demon God has truly appeared, then that would be an incomparably grand event for the entire Demon Race.

This does not just represent the restoration of the Demon God, but also represents incomparably powerful strength, enough to let them no longer live in this bitter, cold land.

They could reclaim their homeland in the Four Great Divine Continents and save those compatriots enslaved by humans!

"Do not be agitated; it is not a Demon God who has already grown to the Ascension Realm, but a Fox Demon with the same bloodline as the Demon God who has undergone Bloodline Ancestral Return."

Hearing this, although Canglan calms down a little, it still cannot hide its excitement.

"Where is that Divine Son Daren now?"

For this situation of bloodline ancestral return, there is a specific term within the Demon Race—Demon God's Child.

Regardless of background, regardless of what strength he possesses, once the bloodline undergoes ancestral return, he has only this one identity.

His status is lofty, to the point that he does not even need to bow when meeting the contemporary Demon Emperor.

"If only I knew."

"Mingyue Daren, you don't know either?"

How could that be!?

But regardless of whether Canglan believes it or not, the fact is just so, and Mingyue Daren sighs:

"Although the Tianhu Shenzi has descended into the world for a hundred years, the Demon Emperor long ago ordered secret searches throughout Yaoyu, but until now, no traces have been found. Do you understand what this means?"

Canglan falls silent, and the tail behind it droops down.

"Yes, this subordinate understands... Tianhu Shenzi Daren is very likely trapped within the Human Realm."

"Correct."

The laziness in the voice of Mingyue Priestess behind the door fades, and she speaks earnestly:

"Canglan, I called you here for only one thing: I need you to secretly lead a team to search for the whereabouts of the Divine Son in the Human Realm."

"But take note, you must absolutely not expose the existence of the Divine Son; do not let humans have any inkling, otherwise, it will place the Divine Son in danger."

"This matter must not be known to the outside world; you must act with caution."

Canglan lifts its head and answers loudly:

"Yes!!!"

In its excitement, Canglan cannot restrain its emotions and cannot help but let out a long howl:

"Awoooo!!!"

After a moment of silence, howling sounds begin to echo one after another, continuous and unending, spreading outward everywhere.

"..."

Mingyue Priestess thinks for a moment, then says:

"I think I should reconsider; Canglan, you might not be very suited for this kind of infiltration work..."

"Daren!!! No—"

Raising a hand to cover its mouth, Canglan says indistinctly:

"Tianhu Shenzi Daren must be waiting for us to rescue him!"

"Save me, save me..."

Rubbing his temples with a headache, Ren Yidao lies on the bed in pain.

"How on earth is this thing supposed to be used!"

The chaos in the sect has come to an end, and after sending off the Shi Family uncle and nephew, Ren Yidao has returned to the peaceful life he enjoys.

Wandering aimlessly around the sect every day, going to Lieyang Peak to tease the Junior Martial Nephew, going to Lingxu Peak to scare Duan Xiaoling, and then deepening his bond with his adopted daughter at home...

He has come to understand some of Jing Yueqin's joy.

No wonder she likes being a sect loafer...

This life is truly carefree.

But happy days are always short-lived, and Ren Yidao did not remain idle forever.

He was about to break through.

It was not a breakthrough for his Demon God true form, but rather his human body's cultivation on the Divine Path had reached a node.

Golden Core Great Perfection.

Ren Yidao was only one final step away from transforming his Dao God into a true Dharma Aspect.

Although he was not as diligent and hardworking as Zuo Yungui and the others, Ren Yidao had actually never set aside his cultivation of the Divine Path.

Even when he was being a sect loafer, he never gave up on cultivation, always silently circulating his mental cultivation method.

Yet this speed of advancement still somewhat exceeded his expectations.

From the moment he finished choosing the Divine Path, only one month had passed, all things considered.

However, since he had already reached this step, Ren Yidao did not intend to hold back any longer.

There was really no need; his foundation was simply too profound, and holding back any longer would truly make him sick.

But when he prepared to honestly use the Dragon Scale to shape the Divine Statue he had discovered, a problem arose.

"How could it be like this?"

Ren Yidao had already been studying it for several days; he looked at the Dragon Scale repeatedly, but felt something was wrong no matter how he looked at it.

"No, it really isn't it..."

This True Dragon scale, which would be a top-tier material at any time, was actually not the most suitable for him?

Huh?

At the beginning, he thought it was just a momentary illusion, but after communicating with it repeatedly, there was still no result.

The emotion transmitted from the Heavenly Fox Dao God was not just a simple mismatch; it was even somewhat resistant.

It was resisting the Dragon Scale.

And more crucially, it kept conveying intense confusion.

"You clearly already have something better, so why do you still want to use this unsuitable one?"

Huhu doesn't understand. JPG

The Dao God didn't understand, and Ren Yidao understood even less.

Where would I have that?

Huhu is confused x2. GIF

But in the end, Ren Yidao still decided to trust his Dao God.

He closed his eyes and sat cross-legged for two days, silently sensing where that material he had long since "possessed" could be.

On the third day, he finally had a sensing!

In a place neither far nor near, there was a faint aura, so weak it was almost imperceptible, that was summoning him.

"..."

Thus, following the feeling in his heart, Ren Yidao embarked on the path of searching.

Fearing he would lose this feeling, he did not use a teleportation array, but walked step by step toward that sensation.

Finally, he stopped his footsteps.

In front of a ruin.

Upon entering this city, Ren Yidao already had a guess in his heart.

But when he truly stopped his footsteps, he still could not help but let out an indescribable sigh.

He said:

"Xianhu Temple..."
