Chapter 1858: Five Ancient Demons
On the side of the training ground, Xuanyuan Yue chatted with Ai Qing and the other female immortals. She asked them about the ancient demon races and the sites of their former relics, which confused them.
Shen Ying looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze. "Why do you want to look for the corpses of ancient demons?"
Seeing their expressions, Xuanyuan Yue gulped hard and explained her plan to create a device that could turn humans into demons. However, she didn’t tell them about her intention of combining several bloodlines at once, as that would be against the laws of nature.
They were shocked after listening to Xuanyuan Yue’s explanation, and Fen Hongyi asked her. "Did you know that ancient demons were too scary? They were much more vicious than the demons and devils that existed in this era."
"I know ancient demons were cruel and vicious." Xuanyuan Yue nodded. "However, I think it’s not a problem if we turn people from this era into demons, Senior. Even if they become demons, they will be different from them because they will still retain their consciousness."
Mu Xianyu shook her head and said. "You underestimate ancient demons too much, Yue. If you turn other living creatures into ancient demons, their minds will be controlled by their instincts, and they will eventually become vile like them."
Xuanyuan Yue was at a loss for how to refute her, as she knew nothing about the nature of ancient demons. However, she believed people in this era would not be like them, and they would probably become better. "Are they really uncontrollable?"
"No." Mai Lingyi shook her head. "The ancient demons were completely different from the current demons, and they didn’t have consciousness like other living creatures. Their instincts to kill and rule are too strong, and you won’t be able to control them."
Unlike them, Ai Qing had different thoughts, and she immediately conveyed her idea. "We can’t control them if they’re old enough, but we can if they’re young. If you want to turn other living beings into ancient demons, you have to implant something into their bloodline or soul to control them."
"Will it be useful for controlling them?"
"Yes." Ai Qing nodded. "However, you can’t do it after the person has transformed into an ancient demon, and you must do it before you transform them. If they show any changes and their minds are taken over by their instincts, you will immediately know their transformation, and you can control or kill them."
"Isn’t your idea too cruel, Qing?" Mu Xuanyu and the others agreed with Shen Ying.
Ai Qing shrugged, but another idea came to mind. "If you feel that ideas are too cruel, we can use a different approach to prevent them from causing chaos in other realms."
"Such as?"
"There are many uninhabited domains in the Supreme Realm, right?" They nodded to Ai Qing. "If Ling Yun succeeds in defeating Chaos and taking over his position, he can create a powerful barrier in one of the void domains. If the living beings who turned into ancient demons lose control and are driven by their instincts, we will send them and imprison them there."
Fen Hongyi and the others exchanged glances; they thought Ai Qing’s second idea was acceptable. However, they couldn’t do that now, and they had to wait for Ling Yun to defeat Chaos first.
They were confident in defeating the people who transformed into ancient demons, but they also didn’t want to kill them because their transformations weren’t due to natural factors.
Xuanyuan Yue’s lips curled up. "So, where can I find ancient demons’ corpses?"
"Where else but the Ancient Devil Domain?"
"Hiss!" Xuanyuan Yue took a deep breath. "Can we only find their corpses in that domain?"
Ai Qing nodded. "Before Xie Zuzhou was born, the ancient demons lived in his domain. Their past battle with the Zhizun Clan was so fierce that it ended in their defeat. After their defeat, he was born, but he was different from them because he was a devil. In the end, he took over the ancient demon race and founded his ancient devil race, so you must go to his domain if you want to look for their corpses."
"I see." Xuanyuan Yue nodded in understanding. "How many ancient demon races were there in the past, Senior?"
"Five."
Xuanyuan Yue blinked several times. "Huh? Their race is so small?"
"Hahaha," Shen Qing laughed. "Yue’er, the number of living creatures in the immortal and ancient eras is not as many as in the current era, you know? Even though the number of ancient demon races was so few in the past, they were very powerful."
"Oh! What are the five ancient demon races?"
"Ancient Calamity Demon Race, Ancient Star Devouring Demon Race, Ancient Abyss Demon Race, Ancient Asura Demon Race, and Ancient Blood Demon Race."
Xuanyuan Yue was taken aback upon hearing about the last race. "If I recall correctly, Mother Ye Jing inherited the power and bloodline of the Blood Demon Race from the Slaughter Heaven Domain."
"That demon race shares the same name, but the two are unrelated." Mai Lingyi created two screens displaying images of demons from the Ancient Blood Demon Race and the current Blood Demon Race. "See? Their appearances aren’t the slightest bit similar, and the demon on the left screen is far more terrifying than the one on the right."
Xuanyuan Yue’s eyes kept moving from one screen to the other, trying to find the differences between the two demons. After observing them for a while, she believed that the two demon races were indeed different despite their shared name. "Senior, please show me the pictures of the other four ancient demon races."
"Alright." Mai Lingyi created three other qi screens, displaying images of the five ancient demon races. "In the past, the strongest among them was the Ancient Calamity Demon Race, and their abilities were truly troublesome. The Zhizun Clan even lost many of their members when they fought against that demon race, but they succeeded in exterminating that race in the end."
Xuanyuan Yue listened to Mai Lingyi’s words while watching the ancient demons. Based on their past physical appearance, the Ancient Calamity Demon Race looked terrifying. However, she had a feeling that the Ancient Asura Demon Race was far more terrifying than them.
Fen Hongyi pointed at the screen showing the image of the Ancient Star Devouring Race. "Can you guess why they have names like that?"
"Hmm?" Xuanyuan Yue looked at the qi screen seriously. "Is the demon capable of devouring a star?"
"Hahaha," Feng Hongyi laughed. "Just think of this domain as a star, and that demon race can devour it all at once. Fortunately, there weren’t many planets during the Ancient Era, and they couldn’t use their true abilities. However, the other demon races were also wary of them, as they could swallow others."
Shen Ying added, "The Ancient Asura Demon Race was far more terrifying than the current one, Yue. Not only could they multiply their strength several times over, but they were also capable of increasing the size of their bodies. By the way, the Ancient Abyss Demon Race was the second strongest, but I can’t explain their abilities."
"Are their corpses stored in the Ancient Devil Domain?"
"Yes!" The female immortal answered in unison.
Mu Xianyu asked. "Do you really want to bring back the five ancient demon races?"
"I haven’t decided on that yet, Senior," Xuanyuan Yue sighed. "Moreover, we can’t go to the Ancient Devil Race for now, so I’ll consider it first. By the way, is there a lust demon race in the Ancient Era?"
"The lust demon race has always existed from the immortal era to the current era, and they don’t have much difference." Ai Qing looked at Xuanyuan Yue and asked. "Why are you asking about the lust demon race? Do you want to turn into one?"
"Huh?" Xuanyuan Yue waved her hands. "No way! I’m not interested in turning into a lust demon, Senior. Although I’ve never met one, I’ve heard many things about them, especially their lustful nature. I’m not interested in that kind of thing, and I’m more interested in technology."
They smiled amusedly at Xuanyuan Yue’s expression. They had lived in Ling Yun’s residence for quite some time, so they were quite familiar with his children’s personalities. Among them, only she and Lin Ziyue were not interested in romance.
However, they also knew that Xuanyuan Yue was often intimate with her beast contract, Huli Chenying.
*Swoosh*
Huli Chenying suddenly appeared, sat beside Xuanyuan Yue, and pointed at one of the screens. "What kind of demon is that?"
"The Ancient Star Devouring Demon Race, and they have the ability to devour many things, including planets." Huli Chenying turned to Shen Ying in surprise. "Hmm? You seem interested in that demon race, little fox?"
"Yeah," Huli Chenying admitted with a nod. "In my opinion, the ability to devour anything is quite useful. Are you really going to create equipment to transform living creatures into demons, Master? If you do create one in the future, I want you to transform me into that demon."
Xuanyuan Yue’s eyebrows twitched. "Absolutely not! I will never turn you into a demon, let alone one with the ability to devour everything."
"But—"
"If you insist on becoming a demon, I will ignore you forever!" Xuanyuan Yue spoke in a tone with no room for negotiation.
"Ugh!" Huli Chenying grabbed her hand and shook it. "Come on, Master! I want to have the ability to devour everything!"
"No!" Xuanyuan Yue pulled her hands back and stood up. "If you want that kind of ability, I’ll try to find a way for you to have it, but I will never turn you into a demon!"
After saying that, Xuanyuan Yue dashed at full speed and headed for the Eastern Garden, especially since the fortress entrance was there.
Huli Chenying grumbled inwardly, and she ran after her master, making the female immortals shake their heads.
