Chapter 205: Taking Charge of the Cave Heaven
"Then you just said that if I were a demon, I would be willing to recognize me as my master. So, in your eyes, I have the potential to rival the Great Sage?"
After some communication, Feng Qingan asked shamelessly, it’s not that he thinks highly of himself, but that’s what this guy said.
If it weren't for the wrong race, it would have recognized its master long ago. This was said more than once, and Feng Qing'an remembered it clearly. However, the other party also stated very clearly the requirements, that at least one must have the potential to become a great sage.
"No you didn't!"
Unfortunately, maybe because he had never communicated with anyone before, the spirit of the cave didn't know what it meant to be tactful. When he heard Feng Qing'an's question, he directly rejected it.
"You are a reincarnated Pure Yang Immortal of the human race. Although you were very strong before, you are still far behind the Great Saint of the demon race!"
The big snake hanging in front of Feng Qing'an shook its head. It seemed to know many things naturally, but it also didn't understand some things. But at least it could see through some of Feng Qing'an's nature. However, due to the influence of certain factors, it also made a misjudgment.
"However, you are able to give up the immortality fruit of your previous life and reincarnate to cultivate again. Such courage is enough for me to recognize you. Unfortunately, you are a human!"
"So, I don't have the potential to rival the Great Sage, but you just lowered your standards?"
Feng Qingan's face darkened when he heard this.
“Yes, but I can only stay in the cave, hoping that a demon who is qualified to become a great sage will come here, which is just wishful thinking, so I also reflected on it.
The outside world should have been occupied by you humans. There are very few monsters, and even fewer with talent. The monsters I have encountered now are all of inferior bloodlines that are unbearable to look at.
I have been screening for so many years, and I have only managed to cultivate a little fellow who is barely presentable . Compared with my current requirements, it is still far from it!"
"What do you want now?"
"It's enough to have the potential to become a celestial demon. This is already the lowest bottom line. It can't go any lower. If it goes any lower, there will be no way to repair the cave heaven!"
The spirit of the cave replied in a melancholy voice, emphasizing it.
“Just like the group of villains you are in contact with outside, claiming to be from a thousand-year-old family, they have worked hard for so many years, but they have only managed to barely maintain the balance of the cave heaven and prevent it from collapsing.
Although I should thank them, it is useless to count on them. They have reproduced for who knows how many generations, but unfortunately there is not a single one worth looking at. Instead, they expect the little fellow I quietly nurtured to help them maintain their foundation!"
“No wonder the Xiao family didn’t know you existed.”
Feng Qing'an understood the status of the Xiao family in the eyes of the cave spirit in front of him. At the same time, he also kept in mind that the Pure Yang Immortal was against the Heavenly Demon of the Demon Clan.
"They are too weak, and I don't see any hope. If I rely on them, what awaits me in the end is destruction!"
The spirit of the cave heaven did not have any positive comments about the Xiao family.
Although this so-called Millennium Family was also born from a previous accidental attempt, this attempt was undoubtedly a failure in its eyes. However, it did have some effect, at least delaying the time of the cave's collapse. But relying solely on them, the final result would not change.
"So I'm only meeting your minimum standards now?"
Feng Qingan's expression was a little subtle. Should he be happy or regretful?
"But you are a human!"
"I can't actually be considered completely human!"
After figuring out why this guy wanted to find a master for himself, Feng Qing'an relaxed a lot. He remembered clearly that the birth of the Cave Heaven Spirit was related to the Cave Heaven being on the verge of destruction. Perhaps this was some kind of self-rescue instinct of the Cave Heaven?
"Hmm? If you're not human, what else could you be?"
Nine giant snake heads looked at Feng Qing'an curiously, and then, in the surprised eyes of Jiu Ling, a wisp of demonic energy suddenly emerged from the body of this human whose bloodline was obviously pure, and then the demonic energy increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned into a blue flame, lingering around his body.
"I am actually still a half-demon. How about you lower your standards a little bit?"
Feng Qing'an smiled as he felt the surging Phantom Wolf power filling his body which was almost about to burst his body. However, because this power from Black Mountain had undergone a transformation, Feng Qing'an, who had borrowed this power, was also under the influence of the power of the great demon, and his body shape and appearance had undergone unprecedented changes.
The young man, who was already considered tall and slender among the mortal world, grew rapidly in size with the blessing of demonic power. He was now nine feet long and nearly ten feet tall. Even though he still maintained his human appearance, no one would consider him a human when looking at him.
Pitch-black evil demonic patterns also spread on his cheeks. His jet-black hair grew rapidly and fell to his waist. His pair of pitch-black pupils had turned azure blue, flashing an evil light that seemed to be able to devour the souls of living beings.
"Half-demon?"
Seeing the sudden change that happened to Feng Qingan, the Cave Spirit was also stunned for a moment. This kind of change exceeded its common sense. It had just seen it several times, and all nine heads were staring at it.
"No, that's not right. You are still a human. You don't have the blood of the demon race! Unbelievable, Feng Qingan, how did you do it? Can the human race now control the power of the demon race?"
Even if the spirit of the cave had nine heads, it would not be able to understand this scene. This is totally unreasonable. In this case, shouldn’t the human race be devoured by the soul fire in his body that would harm the soul?
"No, this is not your power!"
The cave spirit was helpless outside the cave, but it was the absolute ruler inside the cave. It soon discovered the source of the evil spirit in Feng Qing'an.
So, in the next moment, two familiar figures, one black and one white, appeared beside Feng Qing'an. However, these two guys, like Minglong, were completely unaware of the nine giant snake heads hanging above their heads, examining them from every angle.
Awooo~
Although he could not see the existence of the spirit of the cave, Heishan, who had become a great demon and had experienced many battles, could sense that there was something strange and wrong about this place.
The rolling clouds and the lightning flashing in the clouds seemed to reflect a huge monster hovering in the sky. Without thinking too much, Heishan revealed his true form and blocked Feng Qing'an under him. He looked at the sky with a vigilant look. There was only strong wind and thunder flashing, but there was a layer of strange clouds gathering but not dispersing.
"The source of your power is this little wolf. It's incredible. It seems that you have established some kind of relationship. You can borrow power from it. As a human, you can obtain the power of the demon race. Your idea is really ingenious. Is this your arrangement in your previous life?"
The spirit of the cave also had preconceived ideas and regarded Feng Qing'an as the reincarnated Pure Yang Immortal Lord. It believed that his methods were arranged in his previous life, otherwise it would be impossible for him to do something that broke his cognition and common sense.
"hehe!"
Feng Qing'an smiled but said nothing. Let the spirits of the cave guess about this matter slowly. They will be able to make their own explanations, making them logically consistent and without any loopholes.
"Jiuling, what do you think of me? I am now half a demon, right? Why don't you consider me? If I can reach a higher level in the future, I will definitely restore this cave to its original state if I have the ability!"
"this……"
Looking at Feng Qing'an, who exudes a demonic aura and seems to be very close to the demon clan, Jiu Ling suddenly hesitated and was a little unsure. The potential of the human in front of him was unquestionable.
After all, he would never mistake that pure Yang essence. The Pure Yang Immortal of the human race had the qualifications to open up the cave heaven. As long as this human race in front of him could regain the power of his previous life, he would definitely be able to pull the Jiushou Cave Heaven back from the brink of collapse.
Judging from the path he has chosen for his cultivation in this life, if he continues on this path, his power and control over the demon race will definitely not be inferior to that of the celestial demons at the same level, and restoring it completely is not just empty talk.
"Let me think about it first!"
Nine heads, which were already ridiculously large, rose into the air, as if they wanted to think. As the nine heads rose, their size also increased with the wind. In the end, they were like nine mountains, touching each other in the air, as if they were communicating.
"Don't these nine heads have nine independent thoughts?"
Feng Qingan looked at the scene in the sky with a rather subtle expression. He still had a certain curiosity about those monsters with multiple heads.
If there are simply many heads but the consciousness can be unified and synchronized, then there is nothing wrong. However, if each head represents an idea, then don't you have to fight with yourself before doing anything?
"Have you made up your mind? If you can't make a decision right away, you can think about it for a few more days, but please send me out first. I have things to do. I'll come back in a few days!"
After only waiting for a quarter of an hour, Feng Qing'an became a little impatient and shouted at the sky. Heishan and Baiyao, who were on guard towards the sky, became even more nervous.
"Sir, what's in the sky?"
Bai Yao, whose hair all over her body was slightly blown up, asked nervously. As a spiritual practitioner, she could feel even more clearly how wrong something was here . The wind here simply ignored her.
"Don't be nervous, relax, it's okay, we'll be able to get out in a while!"
Feng Qingan smiled and comforted him.
Hearing Feng Qing'an's urging, a giant snake's head quickly dropped from the sky, and Heishan, who was blocking Feng Qing'an, was blown aside by a sudden gust of wind. Of course, this was Heishan's perspective. In fact, it seemed that this guy was blown away by the breath of the giant snake.
However, when the big snake approached Feng Qingan and was about to say something, this guy who was almost omnipotent in the cave noticed something strange.
"Hey! What's on you?"
"What?"
Before Feng Qing'an could react, he heard some breaking sound coming from his waist.
Snap!
The rolling dark energy surged out, and Feng Qing'an watched helplessly as the unfamiliar rocky terrain beneath his feet changed rapidly and was replaced by a terrain that was very familiar to him.
When the golden and hazy glowing Blazing Sun Tree and the giant skeleton as tall as the mountain appeared before his eyes, Feng Qing'an finally reacted. He touched the belt around his waist, whose jade hook had been broken, and his face suddenly turned livid.
"Jiuling, what are you doing? Why did you destroy my storage magic weapon?"
"This... I just wanted to see what's inside. I didn't expect your baby to be so fragile!"
Hearing Feng Qingan's angry voice, the big snake head hanging in front of him shrank back unconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed and guilty.
"Now you see clearly? My storage magic weapon was destroyed by you. Are you satisfied?"
"I just wanted to take a look, I didn't mean to destroy your baby!"
"Then you should take a closer look now, and then think about how to compensate me for my losses."
Feng Qingan said this expressionlessly, his tone no longer as gentle and enthusiastic as before.
"this……"
Jiu Ling originally wanted to say something, but his eyes were unconsciously attracted by the Blazing Sun Tree and the giant skeleton beside him.
At this moment, the other eight giant snake heads also dropped from the sky, looking at this unusual thing from all directions, and making thunderous exclamations.
"Feng Qing'an, you actually carry this kind of thing with you?!"
A head that was deliberately shrunken came in front of Feng Qingan, and his tone was full of admiration.
"What does it have to do with you?"
Feng Qing'an, who had not gained any benefit but had lost a treasure, did not give any face at all and responded coldly. It would be a miracle if he was in a good mood now.
"You want to revive those two guys, right? The giant is still okay, he's only half alive, but can you pull that tree back?"
Jiu Ling ignored Feng Qing'an's indifference, but became more eager, just like a survivor trapped in despair who finally saw the dawn of hope.
“It’s none of your business!”
"Well, actually I have another one here..."
"No matter what you want to discuss with me, you have to compensate me for my magic weapon first, and then talk to me about other things!"
Feng Qing'an looked at the dark land covering several miles under his feet, which was constantly emitting negative energy. He found it hard to believe that this guy did it by accident. It was clearly intentional.
This must be because he treated the area inside his storage belt as a tonic and ate it!
"Okay, I'll give you control of this floor? How about that? This place has much more space than the storage space of your magic weapon!"
Jiu Ling offered a solution, but it seemed like a decision that had been made long ago, not compensation.
"What's the use of this? Can I carry it with me?"
"This floor is part of the Jiushou Cave Heaven. If you gain control of this floor, it means you have control over part of the cave heaven. So, you can use this floor as a storage bag. You can put anything you want in it!"
Jiu Ling explained.
"Use it as a storage bag? I throw the treasures I got in here, and the Xiao family or the monsters pick them up right after I throw them in?"
"How is that possible? Neither the Xiao family nor the monsters know about this floor. Apart from me, there are no living creatures here. Just use it with confidence. No matter what you put in here, I will not interfere!"
Jiu Ling promised solemnly.
"This is a decision you made a long time ago. You just broke my storage bag. Was it intentional?"
Feng Qingen narrowed his eyes and looked at the giant snake in front of him.
Even if this guy can't communicate with those humans and monsters who can't see him, he can see everything they do. After such a long time and being influenced by them, how can this guy be a kind person?
"It was really careless. I didn't expect your magic weapon to be so fragile!"
"Really?"
Feng Qingan sneered, stretched out his palm, and spread it in front of the big snake.
"Then you should compensate me for this floor now!"
"good!"
The big snake did not hesitate or feel reluctant at all. This was the decision it had just thought about.
