Chapter 51: The Demon Race's Discovery! Earning Some Merit Along the Way!

Inside the Heavenly Court.

Di Jun sat upright on his throne, his expression somewhat gloomy.

Because it had already been a long time since he ordered the Demon Race below to investigate the whereabouts of Houtu and the others.

Yet, there was not a single piece of news.

Although he knew the Great Desolation was vast and that Dijiang and the others could not be without precautions, making them difficult to track down, he was still secretly annoyed.

Logically speaking, half a day's time was simply insignificant for an existence of his level.

But because he was still brooding over being toyed with by Houtu and Lu Yun together earlier, he felt the time was exceptionally long.

Taking a deep breath, Di Jun forced himself to stop thinking about these things and prepared to cultivate for a while.

He figured that by the time he finished his cultivation, there should be news! But just as Di Jun had calmed his mood and was preparing to cultivate, suddenly—

"Reporting to the Demon Emperor, a Great Monster from the Primordial Land has sent word that a strange Human Tribe has been discovered, where Merit Golden Light has been descending one after another!"

Demon Saint Guiche hurriedly sent a message.

Di Jun could not help but frown.

At first, he did not pay much attention, but he suddenly thought: wasn't the region under Guiche's jurisdiction near the place where Houtu and the others had appeared before? Houtu and the others had only just left, and yet an anomaly had appeared in a nearby Human Tribe.

"It is quite possible that the human is from this very tribe!"

Di Jun conceived this conjecture and decisively sent a message to ask Guiche: "Have you investigated clearly why merit is descending upon that Human Tribe?"

Guiche replied: "No! The Great Monster who sent the news back did not dare to rashly observe with Supernatural Power; he only saw from afar that many demon beast corpses were piled up outside that Human Tribe, and the cultivation of those demon beasts before they died did not seem weak, which is why he felt it was abnormal."

Di Jun narrowed his eyes slightly.

This matter was indeed abnormal!

The Human Race had always been weak; this was common knowledge throughout the Great Desolation.

It was already good enough that they could hunt some low-level demon beasts for food; where would they get the ability to hunt powerful demon beasts? Not to mention a large number of powerful demon beasts!

Di Jun suddenly had an intuition that perhaps the person he was looking for was right there!

Thinking of this, he directly asked Guiche for the specific location, and then began to activate the River Chart and Luo Book, attempting to reflect the situation of the Human Tribe Guiche mentioned.

As a result, upon looking, he discovered that the River Chart and Luo Book could not detect it! That Human Tribe had been concealed by someone using Supernatural Power! This discovery actually brought a few more smiles to Di Jun's face: "It should be here! I didn't expect to find results so quickly!"

In his excitement, he could no longer be bothered with cultivation.

Immediately, he issued orders to the Demon Race under his command, telling them to find a way to investigate the Zhushan Tribe and determine what exactly was going on there! For a time, many powerful members of the Demon Race on the Primordial Land acted one after another, all turning their attention to the small Zhushan Tribe.

Unknowingly, a night passed.

Inside the Zhushan Tribe.

Many humans had practiced the "Xingyi Fist" for the whole night, and all of them had gained much, with their strength having improved significantly! Everyone was very happy.

Just by practicing for one night, the overall strength of their tribe had increased by several tens of percent; it was hard for them not to be happy about such a thing!

And since all of this was brought by Lu Yun, they were naturally all incomparably grateful to him. Many people originally wanted to find Lu Yun to express their gratitude, but seeing that Lu Yun had his eyes closed the whole time, seemingly in cultivation, they did not dare to disturb him.

Some even took the initiative to stand guard near Lu Yun to protect him.

Others, seeing that the Wu Clan were busy making tables and chairs, ran over to help them.

Still others were arranged by Dashan to go out and find hunting teams, and by the way, to notify other nearby tribes to come over, preparing to receive Lu Yun's teachings.

For a time, the entire Zhushan Tribe began to bustle with activity.

It was not until near noon that Lu Yun finally completely digested that portion of the Culinary Dao Inheritance memory.

He slowly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

He felt he had bought this Culinary Dao Inheritance correctly!

It would be of huge help to his subsequent plans, and he felt that this time he could earn at least one wave of Heavenly Dao Merit! It might even be possible to complete the task of earning more Heavenly Dao Merit along the way.

Furthermore, it would also be of huge help to his own future life!

A mere million points was nothing more than selling a hundred bamboo stalks; if there were more skill inheritances of this kind, he would really like to get another one! Just then, Lu Yun discovered that he was currently inside a great hall within a Stone Palace.

The appearance of this hall was very similar to the one Houtu had built for him when he was cultivating before; it was clearly also the work of Houtu, and this time it was made even more exquisite.

He was somewhat stunned, not expecting that while he was cultivating, Houtu had actually built a Stone Palace and surrounded him! Lu Yun stood up, came to the entrance of the hall, and sure enough, saw Houtu.

As soon as Houtu saw Lu Yun arrive, she walked up to him with a smile and said, "You've finished your cultivation?"

Lu Yun nodded, then asked, "Why did you build another Stone Palace?"

Houtu said, "I didn't have anything to do anyway, so I just made it!"

Lu Yun scratched his head and said, "But I don't know if I will stay here for long; what if I have to leave later? Wouldn't that be a waste of your efforts?"

Houtu, however, did not mind, saying, "It's fine, I'll just build you another one later! Of course, if you like this one, it's very simple for me to help you move it to wherever you want to go!"

Lu Yun did not know what to say for a moment.

He could only envy Houtu's strength; she could build a massive palace with a wave of her hand, and could even move it wherever she wanted!

He wondered when he would possess such ability? "By the way, where are the other Ancestral Witches?"

"Them? They all went to search for prey nearby! Oh, and those ingredients you need, I had them get more!"

While talking, Lu Yun and Houtu walked toward the outside of the palace.

Arriving outside the Stone Palace, the first thing Lu Yun saw were the busy Wu Clan and humans, and he discovered that they had already made numerous tables and chairs, making the Zhushan Tribe crowded.

Furthermore, the bamboo forest outside the tribe had also suffered considerable damage.

But that was fine; it just happened to clear out an open space that could be used to host people from other Human Tribes, as well as the people of the Wu Clan!

Lu Yun could see that everyone was very much looking forward to today's banquet.

But he felt that he still needed to make some additional preparations—well, and earn some merit along the way! Thus, Lu Yun opened the Transmigration Chat Group once again.
