265: According to Shi Lie’s order, the old coin is from the Bull Demon Clan!

Now, he had completely put Shi Lie's mind at ease, and he thought that his upcoming matters concerning the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda would not change.

Now, he only needed to wait for the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda to open.

Lu Sheng sat in his chair, pondering.

On the Golden Throne, Shi Lie glanced at Lu Sheng and then slowly said, "Before going to the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, there are still some things I need to tell you!"

"After all, you have been in the Lion Demon Army all this time, and you are not very clear about the matters of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda. In such a place where danger and Opportunity coexist, you must understand a thing or two before you can make deeper plans."

Hearing these words, Lu Sheng also nodded, looking at Shi Lie, waiting for Shi Lie's next words.

Immediately, Shi Lie slowly said, "The Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda is a Secret Realm similar to the Profound Spirit Space left behind by the former Demon God Strong of the Beast Demon Royal Clan, but it cannot be compared with the Profound Spirit Space. It is more about some Opportunities left by this Demon God Strong."

"It is said that if one obtains the Demon God's approval in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, they can even obtain the Demon God Inheritance. However, for so many years, neither the Beast Demon Royal Clan nor our three great clans have been able to obtain the approval of this Demon God."

"I guess it's because of talent, but you have a good chance of getting the Demon God's approval!"

Shi Lie looked at Lu Sheng and said seriously.

Lu Sheng's brows furrowed slightly, with some doubts in his heart, but Shi Lie's next words completely dispelled the doubts in Lu Sheng's heart.

"But... I don't recommend you to get the Demon God Inheritance!"

Shi Lie said slowly.

As expected!

Lu Sheng understood in his heart.

After all, this Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda was left by the former Demon God of the Beast Demon Royal Clan. Logically, only people from the Beast Demon Royal Clan could enter it.

It was only to win over the hearts of the great clans under his command that the Beast Demon Royal Clan had no choice but to bring out this good place.

But... just because this place is brought out and you are allowed to gain benefits inside, it doesn't mean that the Beast Demon Royal Clan allows you to obtain the Demon God Inheritance.

The Demon God Inheritance... is almost equivalent to which clan the next Demon God will be born in. Now, the Beast Demon Royal Clan seems to have a very close relationship with great clans like the Lion Demon Clan.

But the birth of a Demon God is an extremely important matter for a clan, and even for the entire Otherworldly Demon World.

The Beast Demon Royal Clan would never allow anyone from the clans under their command to become a Demon God. This is not what they want to see.

Your Lion Demon Clan can be very powerful, and in this way, the Beast Demon Royal Clan can also control more Strong.

But this power has its limits.

And this limit... is that it cannot exceed the limit that the Beast Demon Royal Clan can control!

And within this limit, the stronger you are, the better it is for the Beast Demon Royal Clan. But once you exceed this limit, sorry, all that awaits is the ruthless suppression of the Beast Demon Royal Clan.

Therefore, Shi Lie said that he did not want Lu Sheng to obtain the Demon God Inheritance.

After all, in Shi Lie's opinion, being able to resonate with the Ancestral Stone, even without the Demon God Inheritance, as long as he proceeds step by step, he can still become a top-tier Strong.

Even if he cannot Breakthrough to the Demon God Realm, he will still be a top-tier Demon Emperor. With the strength of a top-tier Demon Emperor, he will not be threatened by the Beast Demon Royal Clan.

The gap between great clans and royal clans... lies in the gap between top-tier Demon Emperors.

The strength and foundation of the Lion Demon Clan are top-tier in the entire Otherworldly Demon World, but compared to those royal clans, the Lion Demon Clan does not have the existence of top-tier Demon Emperors.

Even the current Old Ancestor of the Lion Demon Clan is still some distance away from the Realm of a top-tier Demon Emperor, let alone Shi Lie.

"Besides that, as for other Opportunities in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, you can obtain as many as you can. The Beast Demon Royal Clan will not care."

"However..."

Shi Lie said seriously, "Here, try not to expose your talent and combat power. Otherwise, those people from the Beast Demon Royal Clan will always be watching you, and may even... secretly attack you!"

Shi Lie's expression was extremely solemn.

This was not a joke. Some things cannot be said openly, but secretly, they will always make a move.

If it were within the Lion Demon Clan, it would be fine. With him and the Old Ancestor in charge, they could prevent these hidden methods.

But Lu Sheng cannot stay in the Lion Demon Clan forever. As long as he leaves the territory of the Lion Demon Clan, such assassinations will become frequent.

At that time, even with a Demon Venerable Strong as Lu Sheng's Dao Protector, he might not be able to defend against them.

Therefore, Shi Lie still wanted Lu Sheng to be cautious.

Lu Sheng nodded.

He was here to find the profound spirit fragment. Before being exposed, Lu Sheng was too lazy to cause himself any trouble.

This was not a good thing for his plan.

Seeing Lu Sheng nod, Shi Lie also nodded slightly, then continued.

"Besides that, what needs to be paid attention to in the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda are the Prodigies from the Beast Demon Royal Clan and the Prodigies from the other two clans. Of course, there are also some threats from the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, but I will explain all of these to you one by one. The most important thing now is to let you know about the Prodigies of the other clans!"

Listening to these words, Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Prodigies from other clans, if he could kill these guys, wouldn't it weaken the potential of these clans?

After all, the Prodigies who are qualified to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda are not simple. In order to cultivate them, even the Beast Demon Royal Clan, these top-tier clans, probably paid a considerable price. If they could be killed, it would be enough to make them feel heartache, right?

Lu Sheng thought so in his heart.

"Within the Beast Demon Royal Clan, there are three different factions: War, Frenzy, and Hegemony!"

"Each of the three factions has a Demon Emperor Strong in charge. When facing outsiders, the three different factions are naturally united, but internally, these three factions have considerable friction!"

"As far as I know, this time for the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, all three factions will have top-tier Prodigies entering it. Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda has many dangers, even Golden Body Strong entering it has a possibility of death!"

"But with so many openings of the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, the Beast Demon Royal Clan already understands the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda very well, and the risk of death has also been greatly reduced. In addition, their Prodigies all have some life-saving items, so the probability of death is not high!"

"According to my intelligence, the Prodigies of these three factions all have a cultivation of the tenth rank. This is why I wanted you to Breakthrough to the Golden Body Realm before the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda opened. Otherwise, even if you enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda, you would not have the qualifications to compete for Opportunity with these Prodigies!"

"After all, the Prodigies cultivated by the Beast Demon Royal Clan, even if they have just entered the Golden Body Realm, can unleash terrifying combat power."

"However, after the test just now, I am not too worried about these problems anymore."

"Although these Prodigies have good combat power, there isn't much difference between them and you. With your current strength, as long as you don't completely provoke them, you won't be threatened by them."

Lu Sheng nodded, but his eyes flickered slightly.

Guys with life-saving items... In this way, it would be a bit troublesome to kill these Prodigies of the Beast Demon Royal Clan without anyone knowing.

But... he would just take it one step at a time then. If there was an Opportunity, he would kill them. If not, then so be it. As long as they didn't hinder him from finding the profound spirit fragment!

"Besides the Prodigies of the Beast Demon Royal Clan, there are also the Prodigies of the other two great clans!"

At this moment, Shi Lie's voice rang out again.

The other two great clans!

Lu Sheng's brows raised slightly.

Before coming, Lu Sheng had also learned about the three great clans under the Beast Demon Royal Clan.

The three great clans under the Beast Demon Royal Clan.

Lion Demon Clan!

Tiger Demon Clan!

Niu Mo race!

They are genuine great clans, each with no less than three Demon Emperor Strong in charge.

The total number of Demon Emperor Strong from the three great clans combined could even rival the Great Xia Human Clan. Of course, among the Great Xia Human Clan, Kong Yunchang and the Two Sages of Literature and Martial Arts were Strong second only to top-tier Demon Emperors.

So they were not afraid of the three great clans.

It's just that the Great Xia Human Clan faced the entire Otherworldly Demon World, which made them seem a bit weak.

“I’ve also heard of the Tiger Demon Clan’s Prodigy. He is extremely high-profile. It’s said that he broke through to the Golden Body Realm a few months ago, which caused quite a stir. But… hehe, as a result, he’s been targeted by the Beast Demon Royal Clan. These Tiger Demon Clan people are all a bunch of fools!”

Shi Lie sneered, clearly disdainful of the Tiger Demon Clan’s high-profile nature.

“This guy’s strength is out in the open. While he enjoyed a lot of glory for a time, beneath that glory are quite a few dangers. Maybe as soon as the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda ends, the Beast Demon Royal Clan will make their move. There’s no need to worry too much about this child.”

“The one you should pay most attention to is the Niu Mo race’s Prodigy!”

As Shi Lie spoke, a hint of solemnity appeared on his face when he mentioned the Niu Mo race.

“I still don’t know who the Niu Mo race’s Prodigy is. They’ve hidden his identity very well. The Niu Mo race might seem boorish, but they are actually very meticulous. Compared to those fools from the Tiger Demon Clan, they are much more dangerous.”

“However, according to my guess, he should also be at the Golden Body Realm, perhaps a bit higher, but definitely not exceeding the Five Revolutions Golden Body.”

“If you encounter him, it’s best not to act before you figure out his trump cards!”

Shi Lie instructed.

Lu Sheng nodded slightly.

But in his heart, he developed a strong curiosity about this Niu Mo race Prodigy.

Lu Sheng was quite familiar with the Niu Mo race.

The members of the Niu Mo race possess extremely terrifying strength, especially within the same Realm. Only some Body Cultivators can contend with the Niu Mo race.

Martial Artists of the same Realm absolutely cannot defeat the Niu Mo race in terms of strength, which leads to the Niu Mo race’s powerhouses being very formidable within the same Realm.

They were even once listed as a dangerous race by the Great Xia Human Clan.

When encountering the Niu Mo race, the Great Xia Human Clan would often dispatch two, or even more, Martial Artists of the same Realm to entangle them.

Any Human Race member who was singled out and targeted by a Niu Mo race powerhouse, unless they were a Body Cultivator, would be in mortal danger.

And yet, this Niu Mo race, known for its strength, was described by Shi Lie as a bunch of old schemers.

This made Lu Sheng somewhat curious.

More importantly, Shi Lie was a Devil King powerhouse! His methods and intelligence network were absolutely terrifying, but even Shi Lie didn’t know the true identity of the Niu Mo race’s Prodigy.

This made Lu Sheng even more curious.

“This Niu Mo race… is quite interesting!”

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then silently made a mental note of the Niu Mo race.

Afterward, Shi Lie explained a lot more information about the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda and some points to note to Lu Sheng.

After explaining everything, he told Lu Sheng to wait for the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda to open, and he would naturally take Lu Sheng there at that time.

Hearing this promise, Lu Sheng felt relieved and returned to his tent.

Fortunately, there was still some time before the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda opened, so Lu Sheng continued his cultivation… Time passed, and soon another ten-plus days went by.

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged on a cushion in his tent. At this moment, a second golden pattern was already engraved on Lu Sheng’s skin.

Two Revolutions Golden Body!

After breaking through to the Golden Body Realm, his cultivation speed immediately increased. After all, sometimes, going from zero to one is inherently the most difficult part.

Once that difficulty is overcome, the subsequent steps become much easier.

However, what annoyed Lu Sheng slightly was that after such a long time, his Body Refining was still at the Ninth Level Peak, still some distance away from the Tenth Level, which was comparable to the Golden Body.

Perhaps the lack of 【Slaughter】’s blessing caused Lu Sheng’s Body Refining cultivation to improve very slowly.

Nevertheless, even so, Lu Sheng’s cultivation speed was already terrifyingly fast.

With a Two Revolutions Golden Body, Lu Sheng was confident he could kill even a powerhouse at the Four Revolutions Golden Body.

As for a Five Revolutions Golden Body powerhouse… if he used his trump cards, taking him out wouldn’t be a difficult matter.

Just as Lu Sheng was still immersed in cultivation, suddenly, his ears twitched slightly, followed by Shi Lie’s voice.

“Come here!”

Hearing Shi Lie’s voice, Lu Sheng quickly opened his eyes.

“The Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda is about to open!”

Lu Sheng’s thoughts stirred slightly.

Immediately, he stopped his cultivation, quickly tidied up, and hurried towards Shi Lie’s palace.

Soon, Lu Sheng’s figure slowly appeared in the palace.

“Greetings, Legion Commander!”

Lu Sheng bowed slightly to Shi Lie.

Shi Lie, who was seated on the golden throne, waved his hand after seeing Lu Sheng bow to him.

“Alright, I promised you before that I’d take you to the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda. It’s about to open, are you ready?”

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then chuckled: “Of course, I’m ready!”

“You rascal!”

Shi Lie couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, then said: “In that case, let’s go!”

Shi Lie didn’t waste words. He immediately waved his hand, and a gentle force lifted Lu Sheng’s body, then disappeared into the palace.

Lu Sheng only felt as if he had entered a spatial tunnel. The surrounding scenery rapidly receded, blurring so much that even with Lu Sheng’s current strength, he couldn’t capture the constantly retreating sights.

He even felt waves of dizziness continuously washing over him.

This sensation lasted for several minutes before finally disappearing.

A moment later, Lu Sheng found himself stepping onto something, and his body gradually came to a stop.

He stopped to look around and found that everything had completely changed.

Just a few minutes ago, he was still in the palace, but now he appeared in a wilderness.

Below, on the desolate land, a few strange trees stood scattered. The entire world was filled with a sense of desolation.

It was as if it were a no-man’s-land.

“Is this… where the Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda opens?”

Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a little curious.

Shi Lie, standing beside Lu Sheng, said softly: “The Ten Thousand Beasts Ancient Pagoda is in an independent space. Every so often, it opens like the Profound Spirit Space. Calculating the time, there should be about one last stick of incense left.”

“Thinking about it… some old friends should be arriving soon!”

Shi Lie slowly looked into the distance, muttering softly.

Lu Sheng paused, then followed Shi Lie’s gaze.

The distance was extremely vast, but very quickly, a streak of light could be seen rushing over between the empty heavens and earth.

Its speed was so fast, like a falling comet.

It only appeared in their sight for a few breaths of time before the streak of light stopped in mid-air not far from Lu Sheng.

The light gradually dispersed, revealing two figures.

The newcomers were extremely burly, with large tiger heads, and their bodies exuded an extremely strong aura of brutality.

Every movement, every gesture, was filled with majesty.

The Tiger Demon Clan’s Devil King!

The moment he saw this person, Lu Sheng recognized his identity. And beside this person, there was also a figure with a tiger head, but he looked much younger.

He still exuded a rebellious air, but his cultivation was much weaker. Lu Sheng glanced at him and found that he had a Three Revolutions Golden Body cultivation.

“This guy… must be the extremely high-profile Tiger Demon Clan Prodigy Shi Lie mentioned!”

Lu Sheng thought to himself.

Just as the Tiger Demon Clan’s Devil King stopped and was about to speak, a hearty voice came from afar.

“Hahaha, you two are still faster. You’ve made me the last one!”

Hearing this voice, the others also looked over.

They saw a burly figure with a bull’s head slowly walking through the Void Realm, and beside him was a young Niu Mo race powerhouse, wearing a long robe similar to ancient Great Xia attire, walking with a smile on his face.
