Chapter 284: The Heavenly Demon Scroll

“De… Demon Emperor, Your Majesty?!”

Looking at this “Yao Race girl,” Xu Qingyao opened her mouth slightly, speaking in disbelief.

Although she was very unwilling to believe it, the aura radiating from the other party left Xu Qingyao with no choice but to believe.

This tiger-headed, dragon-robed girl was indeed the Demon Emperor who led the Demon Court!

Her… future Master!

“You, you have transformed??”

Xu Qingyao instantly understood why she hadn’t been able to contact the Demon Emperor for a while.

“Yes, this Emperor found a method to nurture the quality of that third-grade Shapeshifting Grass to a pseudo-immortal grade, to the level where it could affect me. After calculating and confirming I could survive the transformation Heavenly Tribulation, I consumed it directly,” the Demon Emperor spoke calmly, as if it were not worth mentioning.

She looked at the dazed Lin Jing and said, “However, I only had one portion of the resources to improve the quality of the Shapeshifting Grass. So, moving forward, I will still need to rely on your Transformation Pills to create more Yao Race.”

“Understood—” Lin Jing took a deep breath.

“Then, Your Majesty, can you face enemies in your current state?” he inquired.

Because the result of the Demon Emperor’s transformation didn’t look successful no matter how one viewed it…

“There is no need to worry. I merely Cultivated the Yao Race Cultivation Technique of the Divine Tiger Clan and obtained stronger potential, which caused me to take this form. To put it another way, compared to my previous Yao Beast form, this form possesses even stronger growth potential—”

“Just as a human’s power increases significantly as they grow from a cub to an adult.”

The Demon Emperor said dismissively, “So from now on, you can rest easy and go participate in the Alchemy Convention. Even if the Gu God of the Gu God Sect,”

“Or the Yin Emperor of the Yin Corpse Sect are drawn here by you, this Emperor can make them lose a pound of flesh.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” With the Demon Emperor’s promise, Lin Jing felt at ease. However, was it really not because she was too hurried to transform that something went wrong? Lin Jing didn’t dare to ask.

Afterward, the Demon Emperor tossed out a scroll: “Refine it. You should be familiar with this item.”

“It also originates from the Heavenly Demon Sect and is called the Heavenly Demon Scroll.”

“After refining it, whenever a lifeform within a certain range develops strong killing intent, hostility, or malice toward you, their Primordial Spirit portrait will emerge upon the scroll. If you personally kill the lifeform on the portrait, your Divine Sense power will be enhanced.”

“Until, through your Divine Sense, you can perceive whether the surrounding lifeforms harbor killing intent, hostility, or malice toward you, just like this Heavenly Demon Scroll. No matter how deeply the other party hides it, they won’t be able to hide from your Divine Sense.”

“For someone with your Longevity Physique, this supreme treasure should be of no small use.”

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment before putting away the Heavenly Demon Scroll.

“At that time, I will use the marks on the Heavenly Demon Scroll to slay everyone inside and outside Tongtian City who harbors ill will toward you—no,”

“To be precise, I will leave them with one last breath for you to slay personally to Cultivate your Divine Sense.”

“Since I said all the spoils of war belong to you, then their lives are naturally part of the spoils.”

“Prepare well.”

The Demon Emperor slowly stepped into the Void Realm, and then, in a deserted place, muttered to herself.

“As long as this Longevity Physique Cultivates the Great Demonic Divine Sense Technique, he should understand that compared to the Ancient Emperor, this Emperor is the wise Master he should follow most.”

After all, she herself had also Cultivated this technique and could clearly perceive the heart of Lin Jing, this Longevity Physique.

This person had no hostility toward Yao Beasts or the Yao Race; he was not a racist. Instead, seeing her transform into the Yao Race, he felt more… curiosity.

Most Human Race Cultivators uphold the belief that those who are not of our race must have a different heart.

But perhaps because Lin Jing came from the Beast Taming Sect, he was not the same as most Cultivators of the Ancient Kingdom.

This made the Demon Emperor realize that as long as the Demon Court treated this Longevity Physique with sincerity, this Longevity Physique would not have a rift with the Demon Court because of the difference in race.

In that case, there was no need to treat him as an outsider because of Lin Jing’s race. As long as she continued to nurture this human, Lin Jing, as the successor of the Demon Court, the Demon Emperor was confident she could bind Lin Jing’s heart to the Demon Court and make him work for it willingly.

Unless the Ancient Emperor married the Ancient Kingdom’s princess to Lin Jing and took Lin Jing as a disciple, the Demon Emperor couldn’t think of a reason for Lin Jing not to stay in the Demon Court and return to the Ancient Kingdom—and the Ancient Emperor would never do that. After all, compared to his value to the Demon Court, to the Ancient Kingdom,”

Lin Jing’s value was much smaller.

“I feel that after transforming, this Emperor has become smarter—” The Demon Emperor licked her paws, already prepared to go on a killing spree to test this Yao Race body.

A few days later.

The Alchemy Convention was about to begin.

The venue for the Alchemy Convention was located in a vast Alchemy area within Tongtian City. This place had over a hundred scattered Alchemy platforms provided for the competing Alchemists.

At that time, every Alchemist participating in the convention would need to perform Alchemy at their designated platform simultaneously with everyone else!

Finally, based on the order of pill completion, the Alchemy Sect would evaluate the value of the Medicinal Pills.

This situation was an extreme test of an Alchemist’s level. After all, changes in surrounding temperature, spiritual energy, and even the pill fragrance would affect others’ Alchemy.

But as long as it wasn’t deliberate interference, all changes resulting from normal Alchemy were within the rules!

Although the evaluation criteria for the Alchemy Convention were the effects of the Medicinal Pills, if someone’s Alchemy was affected by external factors,

Even if the other party prepared a more miraculous new pill, the Tongtian Pagoda would only have them return for the next session after their techniques were more refined, viewing it as a lack of solid basic skills.

“Where is the Longevity Physique?”

“Haven’t seen him yet.”

At this moment, the Alchemy area was already filled with Alchemists, but many spectators only focused on the whereabouts of Lin Jing alone.

“He’s here!” Finally, a moment later, Lin Jing appeared. However, few people could see where he had come from until Lin Jing, wearing Fire-Cloud Alchemy Robes, approached his own Alchemy platform, and the surroundings began to stir.

“This Longevity Physique can really hide. From now on, we must keep an eye on him.” Within the Void Realm, countless Void Profound experts were also hidden. Elder Liandian of the Gu God Sect stared at the Alchemy area the entire time but failed to notice where Lin Jing had emerged from.

“Jiuying, your Divine Sense is stronger, lock onto him!”

“Endure it—” The Sky Lion Ancestor was also within Tongtian City at this moment, secretly watching the Alchemy area. Although it really wanted to seize Lin Jing on the spot, these Demon Ancestors who entered Tongtian City had already been warned by the Tongtian Pagoda upon approaching. Naturally, they didn’t dare to cause trouble at the Alchemy Convention under the Tongtian Pagoda’s warning and make enemies for no reason.

Many people—understood very well that the real battle would only begin after the Alchemy Convention ended.

“Are you… that Longevity Physique??”

After Lin Jing stood by his Alchemy platform, an enchanting woman with red curly hair to his side licked her lips and looked at him.

“Our Old Ancestor is very interested in you. After the Alchemy Convention, could we have a talk in this city?”

Many spectators and Alchemists cast their gazes over, recognizing the woman’s identity as the concubine of the Heavenly Fire Old Ancestor. This Heavenly Fire Old Ancestor was a Void Profound old monster. Because his Cultivation Technique was too strong, he needed to frequently release his lustful fires, and thus had countless wives and concubines. However, it was said that his time was near, and he no longer even had the energy for Dual Cultivation. He had been searching for longevity methods and had even gradually gone mad, using young boys and girls among his descendants to refine a youth-restoring Demon Pill.

Lin Jing glanced indifferently at the woman, reached out his hand, and a black scroll appeared in the air, opened, and hovered.

Within the unfurled scroll were countless portraits, densely packed. “Is your Old Ancestor within this scroll? If he is, we can indeed meet.”
