Chapter 204: Nine Infants? Xiangliu? Great Sage!
"I see! No wonder you can see me!"
Without waiting for Feng Qingan to answer, the voice that suddenly sounded beside his ear began to speak again, as if it had understood the reason the moment it asked the question.
"Whose reincarnation are you?"
“Forget it, there’s no need to tell me. Even if you tell me, I probably won’t recognize it. I’ve been sealed here all my life. I don’t know what the world outside looks like from the beginning.”
It was clearly a majestic voice, but perhaps because it had been a long time since he had communicated with other beings, Feng Qing'an was not given a chance to speak, and he spoke a lot in rapid succession, with undisguised melancholy and helplessness in his voice.
“…”
Feng Qing'an, who was forcibly brought here, pulled the corner of his mouth and looked at the majestic outline looming in the fog. Although his mind was tense, his face did not show much tension.
Because he didn't realize the danger, the guy who forced him here didn't have any ill will towards him. Now it seems that he has been holding it in for too long.
[Type: Cave Spirit]
[Attributes: Heaven, Earth, Spirit]
[Potential level: Domination, lower level]
[Combat Power Level: Emperor·Medium]
This is the strongest existence Feng Qingan has come into contact with so far, and also an extremely special existence, even though he is already standing in front of the other party.
But Feng Qing'an still couldn't determine the other party's form of existence, even though the other party seemed to have a real entity and was not omnipresent as he had inferred.
"After so many years, I finally met someone who can see me. Unfortunately, you are a human. If you were a demon, I would recognize you as my master right now!"
A sighing voice sounded, and what was said was something that made Feng Qing'an's heart beat wildly. However, after hearing it, Feng Qing'an quickly suppressed his excitement.
Because he is a human, a real human, not at all like a demon. Oh, no, he uses the demon power very skillfully.
Judging from the Beastmaster's practice, his control over the creatures that he has contracted with must be gradually deepening, and he can now disguise himself as a half-demon.
"what do you?"
Feng Qing'an frowned. Although he had a general understanding of the existence in front of him, he only knew what the other party was. Apart from that, he was vague about other aspects and knew nothing about its form of existence.
The spirit born in the cave on the verge of destruction, this is the information Feng Qing'an knows, and there is no more. The power possessed by the other party can crush everything he knows - excluding his eldest brother. Dong Huang can't say for sure, she also has some special means.
"I am the spirit in charge of Jiushou Cave Heaven!"
Hearing Feng Qing'an's question, the spirit of the cave suddenly became interested and realized that the little human in front of him could really communicate with it. A head that was so big that it was unbelievable broke through the clouds and poked out from the thick fog.
The head was several meters in size just from the eyes, and even though it didn't emit any special spiritual pressure or aura, it made Feng Qing'an feel a suffocating sense of oppression, which came from the disparity in size.
Too big!
How can it be so big?
Seeing the head in front of him which was even larger than Black Mountain's true body, Feng Qing'an couldn't help but take a few steps back to create a useless distance.
"What are you backing off for?"
Seeing Feng Qing'an's meaningless actions, the cave spirit that stretched out one head felt confused at first, and then the second, third... and even the ninth head. Thick white fog surged in the sky like huge waves on the ocean, and the wind was howling.
Nine heads that looked like dragons but weren't dragons, and like snakes but weren't snakes poked out from all directions, surrounding Feng Qing'an in the center. Their huge, deep eyes, like deep pools, stared at Feng Qing'an from all directions, making Feng Qing'an's scalp numb.
Nine Infants?
Xiangliu?
Feng Qing'an really didn't expect that in this demon cave that was so dilapidated that people mistake it for a blessed land, there was such a terrifying existence hidden.
The Xiao family did not mention it at all, or the Xiao family did not know from the beginning to the end that there was such a terrifying existence hidden in the demon cave they had been operating for thousands of years.
Judging from the tone and demeanor of this cave spirit's speech, none of the Xiao family members had ever come into contact with this nine-headed monster before them, but why was it him that was targeted as soon as he came in?
"Are you afraid of me?"
Feng Qingan's behavior and demeanor couldn't be easier to understand. The spirit of the cave laughed like thunder, and then comforted the young man in white who had a pale face.
"Don't be afraid. Even if you are a human, I won't hurt you. If I had just woken up, I might have eaten you, but now that you have noticed my existence, you are my only friend!"
friend?
Feng Qing'an grinned. Wow! He hadn't even said a few words yet and this monster unilaterally recognized him as a friend. If he was a demon, this guy might do as he said and recognize him as his master on the spot.
"Besides me, haven't you met anyone else who can sense your presence?"
Many thoughts were surging in Feng Qingan's mind.
He now wanted to discuss the matter of recognizing his master with the big guy in front of him. Although he was a pure human, under the right circumstances, he could also transform into a half-demon. If people didn't believe him, he could demonstrate it on the spot.
But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. Even if this guy seems tired of being alone, Feng Qingan feels that few people can stand it if he opens his mouth and says to others, "I want to be your master."
"You can't see me. To those humans who are similar to you, I am like a gust of wind, a rainstorm, or a sudden wildfire. I have been watching them for nearly a thousand years, but they have never noticed my existence!"
There was unspeakable regret and emotion in the tone of the cave spirit. The world under Feng Qing'an's feet roared and shook as the monster spoke, and thunder exploded in the clouds along with its voice.
Every word and action is a celestial phenomenon!
Feng Qing'an felt the changes around him and suddenly realized something. A small golden-scaled dragon emerged from his shirt and looked up at the sky.
As for Heishan and Baiyao, they have lost contact. Feng Qingan can feel Heishan's presence and knows that he is safe and sound, but the distance between him and Heishan is not just a matter of distance; they are not in the same space at all.
“It is indeed so!”
Under the power of "Spirit Parasitism", Feng Qing'an obtained Minglong's perspective, but from his perspective, the sky in front of him was filled with only rolling clouds, mighty gales, and flashes of thunder in the clouds.
But other than that, there was nothing. There was no giant existence with nine heads. Compared with Feng Qingan, Minglongjia was only confused at the moment. It couldn't see, but it was vaguely aware of it, but it couldn't help.
It is unclear whether the figure in front of him is Jiuying, Xiangliu, or simply an existence with no form. It is an existence beyond the mundane world, even beyond the understanding of ordinary practitioners.
Even if it appears openly in front of humans and in the eyes of the demons to show its existence, in their eyes, it is the change of celestial phenomena in the blessed land, the natural change that conforms to the heaven and earth, and everything it causes is a natural disaster or gift.
Even practitioners find it difficult to understand its existence. Even if they stand in front of it or are inside its body, they are not aware of it.
Physical characteristics: Pure Yang!
Although he did not have any combat power, he possessed an incredibly high perspective and vision that was above the mundane world, allowing him to perceive the reality between heaven and earth and not be deceived by external illusions.
"Only humans like you who are similar to my master can sense my existence! Unfortunately, you are the only one who has entered here since my birth."
The huge head was lowered as much as possible and moved towards Feng Qingan. The pupils, which were several times larger than a human's, were close to him. His figure was reflected in the dark and deep vertical pupils. It seemed that this guy wanted to imprint his appearance in his heart and remember him firmly.
"It's only when you see me that you can sense my presence even if I don't do anything. You can even hear what I say and communicate with me. I'm very happy. Human, can you tell me your name?"
"Feng Qing'an!"
The shock of being surrounded by nine heads as big as mountains gradually faded away. Feng Qingan began to adapt to it and gave his name. This guy was easier to approach than he thought.
"What's your name again?"
"Jiuling, this is the name I gave myself. If you don't like it, you can also give me a name you like."
Although it clearly possessed the strongest combat power Feng Qing'an had ever seen, the attitude of the Cave Spirit was completely beyond Feng Qing'an's expectations, and even seemed a bit humble, which made Feng Qing'an feel a little amused and helpless.
"Your name is pretty good. Now that you've already chosen it, how can you change it casually?"
"A name only has meaning when others call it. Now you are the only one who can communicate with me, so of course I need you to like me!"
The head that came in front of Feng Qingan was looking directly at him with a matter-of-fact tone, while the other heads were staring at Feng Qingan from all directions, making the young man feel very uncomfortable.
"Then I will call you Jiu Ling from now on."
Feng Qing'an followed suit and called out the name given to him by the special being in front of him.
"Feng Qing'an! What a pity! It would be better if you were a demon!"
Facing Feng Qingan's big snake head, his tone was full of regret.
"Why? If I were a demon, what would you do? Serve me as your master?"
Seeing that the spirit of the cave took the initiative to talk about this aspect, Feng Qingan took the opportunity to ask, but he was .
The level involved by this cave spirit is too high, and it is impossible for it to perfectly restrain its own existence like Donghuang. Just look at the type of identification and you will know how Jiuling can perfectly control every bit of power.
The moment he signed the contract with it, he would probably explode directly, unable to withstand the power fed back by the soul contract. This was not an existence he could come into contact with now.
"Of course, but unfortunately, you are not!"
Jiu Ling gave an affirmative answer, which made Feng Qing'an feel excited, but he suppressed his impulse and asked patiently. He needed to find out more information and understand the origin and details of this cave spirit as much as possible.
For example, which powerful person in the demon race opened up this cave? And why did that powerful person die? So that the cave has fallen to the point where people mistake it for a blessed land, and what caused the birth of the spirit of the cave?
These are all the things he needs to find out. Asking directly may seem like an option, but asking indirectly is safer.
"You are eager to have a master?"
Since spiritual wisdom has been born, it is an independent individual that does not need to rely on anyone. Feng Qingan couldn't understand why this guy wanted to recognize his master as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I don't desire it, but this cave needs a strong enough master!"
The spirit of the cave answered truthfully.
"A human like you should be able to see that this is a broken cave. I need to repair it, but my power is limited to the cave. Outside the cave, I am unable to interfere, so a master is needed here!"
"Isn't this cave full of monsters? This place can also promote the growth of monsters. No matter what kind of monster it is, as long as it comes here, it can open up its spiritual intelligence faster than its counterparts outside. If you really want to find a suitable monster, you can cultivate one yourself!"
Feng Qing'an asked curiously, the Xiao family has occupied this cave for a thousand years. He didn't know how long the spirit of the cave in front of him had existed, but no matter how he thought about it, it shouldn't be later than the Xiao family!
"It's not that simple. I've tried it, and the best demon I've trained so far is still unable to detect my presence.
If he can't even discover my existence, how can I recognize him as my master and rule the Nine-Life Cave Heaven? Even if it is a ruined cave heaven, he is not qualified!"
Jiu Ling shook his head, his voice full of distress. There were indeed many monsters living in the cave, but none of them caught his eye.
"What kind of demon race is qualified?"
Feng Qingan asked, if he must stick to the demon clan, he could let Heishan or Senmiao try.
"You have the potential to become a great sage!"
Jiu Ling said as a matter of course.
“…”
Feng Qingan was silent for a while. That was it. These two guys were out of luck.
"What level is the Great Sage?"
"The Great Sage of the demon race does not represent a specific realm. The supreme one among the demons can be called the Great Sage!"
"So the original owner of this cave was a great saint?"
"Yes, according to the memories I recalled after my resurrection, the master of Jiushou Cave Heaven is the Great Sage of the Demon Clan. And I am the spirit born after the Great Sage's death!"
"You haven't seen the Great Sage?"
"I haven't seen it! But I have some vague memories!"
"Therefore, only the demon race with the potential to become a great sage are qualified to inherit the cave heaven!"
There was a thoughtful look in Feng Qing'an's eyes.
"Yes, if there is no such potential, how can we inherit the cave? Restore this place to its original heyday!"
