41: Xuan Turtle Demon General

Finally, Gu Yuchuan had met the Black Tortoise Demon General. The other party had a turtle head and a human body, looking very much like the Turtle Prime Minister he had seen on television in his past life. However, his physique was robust and covered in muscles. Even though he wore a long robe, one could still discern the power beneath the clothing. Just by looking, it was clear that his Physical Body was incredibly powerful.

In reality, this was indeed the case. The true form of the Black Tortoise Demon General was a High-grade Demon Beast level Black Tortoise. His talent lay in strength; although he lacked the unpredictability of Spells, he relied on brute force to break all techniques. His strength could rival Magical Artifacts of the same Rank. In the Simulation, he had acted fiercely many times. However, he did not put on airs when facing the Serpent, as the Serpent's Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation was already a certainty. Once he ascended, his combat power and status would be far beyond what the Black Tortoise Demon General could compare to.

The Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation was something even a Golden Core Cultivator would be willing to befriend; one could even use it to become a disciple of a Nascent Soul powerhouse, so naturally, it was something he could not compare with.

"Brother Serpent, why have you come at this time? This is your most critical moment. Instead of cultivating properly at home, if you had any business, you could have just sent a Shrimp Soldier over, and I would certainly have handled it for you."

The Serpent bowed along with Gu Yuchuan. He was not the type to be ostentatious; as long as he had not reached Foundation Establishment, he would not be impolite. "Demon General, this is Great King Green Snake of my Yunxi River. He is now at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. I have mentioned him to you before. I would like to arrange Bright Stream as his territory and, at the same time, sign a treaty of mutual support."

The Black Tortoise Demon General then cast his gaze toward Gu Yuchuan. His eyes held a hint of kindness; after all, the Serpent had already spoken about his situation. With such good Aptitude, he could be considered part of his own faction, so naturally, he would not refuse.

"So that is how it is. You are also a child of heaven's pride. Although you are still a bit weaker compared to the Serpent, I see that you are still a bit stronger than me. Wait here for a moment, and I will handle it for you right now."

Gu Yuchuan quickly spoke up: "Demon General, you are too kind with your praise. Although I have some Aptitude, I dare not compare myself to you, Demon General. I do not even know when I will reach Foundation Establishment, so how could I dare to be like that? I am even less comparable to Great King Serpent, with his Spirit Beast Aptitude and Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation. I am like the light of a firefly, while you two are the bright moon and stars; how could I possibly compare?"

Within the Yao Race, except for the Fox Demon clan, few races possessed such flattery skills. Although these words might not mean much among the Human Race and might even seem quite greasy, this was the first time for both of these Yao. They only felt their hearts were like a vast grassland, with spring rain falling, full of vitality, and a fresh scent filling their hearts.

They both laughed very happily. The Black Tortoise Demon General waved his hand, and a maid brought over a seal and a scroll of silk. He used his spiritual power to write on the silk: "Demon Soldier Horned Snake Gu Yuchuan is conferred as the Lord of Bright Stream."

After writing, he stamped it with the seal, and a golden light flashed upon Gu Yuchuan. He was now the Lord of Bright Stream recognized by the Yao Race. The Black Tortoise Demon General gave him a small seal.

"This is your identity seal. Conferring your subordinates and diplomatic matters all require this to be stamped to be considered valid; otherwise, Luck will not acknowledge it. If Luck does not acknowledge it, the Yao Race will not recognize it. I will draft a diplomatic decree for you both; once you stamp it, you will be considered allies."

After speaking, he wrote another decree: "Bright Stream under the Black Tortoise Demon General and Yunxi River shall form an alliance starting today, advancing and retreating together. If one side is in trouble, the other will provide full support. If one side prospers, they must also help the other, developing together."

After the two Yao stamped the document, they both felt that the other was much closer. The connection of their Luck had deepened a little, so naturally, they felt closer to each other. From then on, they were Fellow Daoists who could trust one another. This was a very important matter in these chaotic times.

Having finished these matters, Great King Serpent became a bit restless. Gu Yuchuan noticed this.

"Demon General, since you are finished with your business, we will not disturb your cultivation. We must return to attend to our own affairs. Wishing you eternal immortal blessings."

The Black Tortoise Demon General had someone escort them out, and the two snakes parted ways. He needed to open his panel now to take a look, because the System had just reminded him that his Faction panel had truly been activated.

【Name: Gu Yuchuan.】

【Race: Green Snake.】

【Bloodline: High-grade Demon Beast: Horned Snake.】

【talent: Beginner Invisibility; Poison Fang Enhancement; Level Two Devour; Beginner Water Control; Clone; Soaring on Clouds and Riding the Mist】

【talent Divine Ability: Green Scale Armor, Ink Profound Spiritual Light, Poison Mist】

【Cultivation: Ninth Layer of Demon Soldier (Ninth Layer of Qi Refining).】

【Simulation Count: 2】

【divine dragon points: 120】

【Affiliation: Bright Stream】

【Affiliation Rank: Unranked】

【Affiliation Wealth: One Spirit Spring, one section of river, one Miniature Spirit Stone Mine (10 Spirit Stone daily), one Miniature Green Jade Mine (10 pieces daily)】

【Subordinates: White Jade Koi Bai Li (Mid-grade Demon Beast. Qi Refining Third Layer cultivation.); Half-Demon Fox Demon Bai Ming (Mortal Beast, Qi Refining Fourth Layer cultivation).】

This was of immense help to him. Bright Stream actually had two mines—one Spirit Stone Mine and one green jade mine. Although they were both miniature, in the hands of a Qi Refining Cultivator, this was a massive fortune. That green jade mine was excellent material for Artifact Refining. He had originally wanted to learn Artifact Refining but lacked the Materials; now it was different, and he could completely manage it.

After looking through all this, he quickly returned home. He woke up Bai Li and Bai Ming, who were in the middle of cultivation.

"Regarding our territory, it has been assigned. It is a nice place called Bright Stream. Pack up your things; let's head over there today."

Bai Ming was overjoyed and knelt down: "This little demon congratulates the Great King on fulfilling your wish. From now on, you do not need to live under someone else's roof and can establish your own faction. May the Great King's cultivation go smoothly from here on, and may Bright Stream's development be boundless."

Bai Li also followed suit, pressing his head against the ground. He had already become philosophical about it; anyway, he could not learn to say such nice things. This was a racial talent, and he accepted it; he simply gave up trying.

Gu Yuchuan flicked his tail: "Alright, hurry up and pack your things. We are leaving today."

The three Yao began to pack their belongings. In truth, they did not have much. Half an hour was sufficient. They packed simply and then set off.

Bright Stream was not very far from the Yunxi River; this was because they were in an alliance with the Yunxi River, and if it were too far, it would be difficult to provide support. Therefore, when the Serpent was selecting it, he had taken this into account. Soon, they arrived at Bright Stream.

The depth of Bright Stream was not very deep, only about twenty meters or so. Its width was over ten meters, and its length was quite decent, being over ten thousand meters. It was a pretty good settlement. In any case, Gu Yuchuan was very satisfied. He would definitely manage this place well. The first thing to do now was to find a suitable location to build their Immortal Cave.
