126: To pay homage to the Demon Lord
The three followed the Black Shark Demon King onto a flying boat, and the Black Tortoise Demon General stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"Your Highness, we are only Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Generals. Let alone the Demon Venerable Majesty, we haven't even met the Demon Emperors. We don't know what happened to us that made the Demon Venerable Majesty want to see us."
Out of respect for the Venerable, these matters shouldn't have been spoken of, but the Black Shark Demon King still did. Firstly, these three were considered his people, especially the Black Tortoise Demon General, who was his direct subordinate. Secondly, he felt that the Demon Venerable meeting them was a good thing, not to punish them, so there was no need to keep it a secret.
He spoke truthfully: "Since you asked, I won't beat around the bush and will speak directly. This is indeed the first time I've seen the Demon Venerable, and my situation is the same as yours. I dare not ask anything, but I saw that the Venerable's expression was very happy, so I speculate it should be a good thing. Therefore, you don't need to panic; just be natural."
His words indeed relaxed their moods quite a bit. As long as there wasn't anything too serious, it was fine. Soon, the flying boat arrived at the Cloud Sea, and the Black Shark Demon King dropped them off there. The rest of the journey, they had to go on their own.
Gu Yuchuan stepped onto the Cloud Sea, and the sensation was very soft, feeling extremely wonderful. This softness was even better than his small bed. Alright, he decided that once he became powerful, he would change his bed to clouds; it would be absolutely marvelous.
After walking a few steps, they saw two figures: one was the Demon Venerable, and the other was the Fox Immortal. They immediately bowed in greeting.
"Little demons pay their respects to Demon Venerable Majesty and Fox Immortal Majesty."
With a wave of the Demon Venerable's hand, they stood up straight.
The next second, the Demon Venerable's clear and cold voice rang out: "Alright, no need for formalities. This is the Yao Race; we don't bother with these things. Sit."
After he finished speaking, three futons appeared beneath the three of them, and they sat down accordingly. The Demon Venerable's attitude indeed seemed good.
"Do you know why this Venerable summoned you here?"
After he said this, the three of them exchanged glances. In truth, they did have some guesses, which were nothing more than the Different Realm Cultivators and Karma. Finally, the Black Tortoise Demon General spoke.
"Demon Venerable Majesty, we do have some guesses. It might be related to the Different Realm Cultivators, or it might be related to the Karma on our bodies. If I'm wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The Demon Venerable laughed directly: "What is there to forgive? You little demon, you're not direct enough. You are absolutely right; it's because of these two matters. Let's talk about the simpler one first, which is Karma. I opened my Heavenly Eye, and the Luck on your three bodies is now very profound. Your future Opportunities will not be bad; it's even possible to go a step further and become an Elementary Child of Destiny. Our Qingyun Realm is only an Elementary Minor Thousand Worlds, and the Heavenly Dao can only give birth to Elementary Children of Destiny."
The Fox Immortal spoke at this moment, her voice very moving. Just hearing one sentence was like entering a celestial realm: "Indeed, the Demon Venerable was able to Breakthrough to the Fourth Layer of Spirit Transformation Stage precisely because he is an Elementary Child of Destiny. If you go a step further, not to mention Soul Transformation, Nascent Soul will be very easy. As you are now, Golden Core can be achieved even while lying down, and the Rank won't be low."
This certainly cleared up their confusion, explaining the power of Karma and Luck to them. The three naturally expressed their gratitude.
Next was the main business, and the Demon Venerable's expression also became much more serious: "Alright, now let's talk about the matter of the Different Realm. In fact, when the spatial rift appeared, I had already discovered it. In fact, that spatial rift was handled by me, otherwise your little snake demon's body would have been filled with Karma."
Gu Yuchuan broke out in a cold sweat. He had too many secrets, and logically, he shouldn't have been spied on like this. But in a place he didn't know, a Soul Transformation mighty expert had been watching him for so long, making him feel uneasy. However, he probably hadn't exposed the simulator, otherwise the outcome wouldn't be like this.
He quickly stood up: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I was unconscious at the time and completely unaware of this matter, otherwise I would have come to thank Your Majesty much earlier."
The Demon Venerable waved his hand, making him sit down again: "Alright, the spatial rift appearing in the Cloud Sea Marsh is something I should manage. I didn't show up at the time because I didn't want to talk about it. Today, I just happened to mention it; it's not the main topic today."
The Fox Immortal spoke again at this point: "That's right, the purpose of coming today is for the Canglan Realm. If they can invade us, we can also invade them. We have investigated and found that the other party is also an Elementary Minor Thousand Worlds, and even a bit weaker than us. If we can conquer them and sacrifice them to the Qingyun Realm, the Heavenly Dao's favor will surely greatly increase the strength of our Yao Race, and then we won't be limited to such small skirmishes."
The three were intelligent people and naturally understood their meaning. They each had their own thoughts, but it was no longer up to them.
Finally, the Black Tortoise Demon General spoke: "Your Majesty, we are willing to follow your lead."
However, his subsequent words were interrupted: "Not you all, only the Azure Scale Demon General. You are the one who created the rift, and only you have the aura of space on your body. Only if you go in will you not be detected. The two of you, step back first and wait for him outside."
After he finished speaking, although the two of them were worried about Gu Yuchuan, there was nothing they could do. They could only slowly leave, leaving Gu Yuchuan feeling very uneasy.
He had never forgotten his cultivation principle: stability above all else. He had a cheat, so there was no need to risk his life. Living stably, he would always be able to reach new heights. But this time, it was not something he could control; he could only agree.
"Your Majesty, my strength is low; I am just a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator. What use would I be?"
The Demon Venerable laughed directly: "You just haven't thought of it, have you? Didn't the invaders also come with a few Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators? You are called vanguards, to open up the field of vision. You just need to place the Formation Plate I give you near a person with Luck, and your mission will naturally be complete. At that time, not only will the world reward you, but I will also give you a large number of rewards here. Prepare yourself; I will notify you soon. Don't worry, I will prepare protective items for you to ensure your safety as much as possible."
Since he had spoken like this, there was no room for Gu Yuchuan to refuse. He could only accept, though he still felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Alright, go back. Get ready; I will notify you in advance when the time comes. Remember to keep it a secret; don't even tell those two little demons outside. Go."
