Chapter 944 Yin Realm, Disguised as a Demon Saint
Qinghong Daoist fled Sun County as if granted a pardon and returned to Yanzhou.
As for what he would encounter next, Ye Kang didn't care at all. At this moment, he only felt that he was lucky. This trip not only yielded a first-class source of heaven and earth energy, but also three Xuan-rank heavenly treasures, all of which were rare and valuable items.
Even with his fortune overflowing, he didn't rush back. Instead, he stayed where he was and began cultivating in the still-intact cold pool.
The Cold Pool is connected to the earth's veins and is also a place where the energy of the Nether Spring is nurtured, making it extremely suitable for Yin-based cultivation.
A day later, Ye Kang's cultivation reached its peak, and without hesitation, he immediately summoned the system.
"System, comprehend and upgrade the Heavenly Path Technique, and refine the Nether Spring Qi!"
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, for consuming 6000000 points of Comprehension and successfully comprehending the Heavenly Path Technique once. You will now begin refining the Nether Spring Qi.]
In an instant, countless insights surged forth, and Ye Kang's cultivation level advanced rapidly.
The aura of the dark spring also transformed into a docile aura, merging with Ye Kang's Yin energy.
Soon, Ye Kang reached the Yin Realm perfection and opened his eyes, successfully entering the Yin Realm realm.
After digesting and reflecting on his insights, and with blessings bestowed upon him by heaven and earth, a day had passed by the time Ye Kang had fully absorbed all his gains.
Slow and steady wins the race. This breakthrough brought Ye Kang significantly more gains than the previous two hasty ones.
Needless to say, his physical body and primordial spirit have improved significantly, and his overall strength is at least three times that of someone at the Yang Chu realm.
If he were to use his full strength now, the likes of Qinghong Daoist wouldn't last more than a quarter of an hour.
Now Ye Kang is qualified to officially compete with those in the late stage of the Returning to True Realm.
The imbalance of Yin and Yang brought about by the Yin Realm was immediately revealed, and Ye Kang felt that his temperament had become more Yin.
Like that Marquis of Anling, he looked incredibly gloomy and strange, and had lost much of his masculinity.
There's no way around it; all martial artists in the Returning to Truth Realm will face this situation.
Especially in the middle stage, the imbalance of Yin and Yang will inevitably lead to changes.
Some people transformed directly into women, while others became five-year-old children; both were normal appearances.
Ye Kang's temperament has only changed a little, which is already considered very lucky.
He didn't dwell on it; he simply used his inner energy to conceal his aura and suppress his presence, trying to appear as if nothing had changed from before.
At the same time, he did not continue to refine the crimson sun energy in the black jade realm.
Although he has sufficient comprehension, he has only just broken through to the Yin Realm, his foundation is unstable, and his cultivation has not been fully consolidated. He is far from being ready to break through to the Yang Realm.
He took a deep breath and looked at the system; there were still seven million comprehension points remaining.
Without hesitation, he poured all his energy into the escape technique.
So close yet worlds apart, let's jump straight to the ultimate perfection!
The escape technique is extremely useful, and the "Close at Hand, Far Away" skill is of a very high rank, providing immense help to oneself.
The fact that he had mastered this escape technique meant that his comprehension had once again dropped to zero. Ye Kang didn't care and got up to leave.
He soon returned to the state capital.
These past few days, Ye Kang's incense offerings have been going smoothly, the true meaning of Brahma is growing stronger, and there have been no demonic attacks.
Of course, Ye Kang knew that this was all temporary.
Those thirteen islands at sea will certainly not let this go easily; a great battle is bound to break out over the incense offerings.
The best course of action is to strike first.
Ye Kang went directly to Lokilin.
The latter was processing official documents. Upon seeing Ye Kang, he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Is it solidified?"
"Yes, I must thank the General for the reminder, which allowed me to obtain a wisp of the Qi of Heaven and Earth."
"No need to thank me. It's your skill to snatch Qi from Beiluo Sect. I just didn't expect you to choose to break through directly. Your courage is truly beyond others."
"Lord Luo, I had no choice but to do this. After all, the Thirteen Islands are eyeing us covetously. If I stand still, I'm afraid the four coastal counties that I just reclaimed will be taken over by demons again."
Upon hearing this, Lokilin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is that what you think?"
"Yes! Although the Wu Dynasty and the demons have an alliance agreement, they probably won't abide by it in Luoyan Prefecture. Now that the counties on the mainland have been recovered, we should strike while the iron is hot and take back the thirteen islands."
Ye Kang's tone was resolute, and his eyes were piercing, further demonstrating his determination.
Lokilin frowned slightly and said, "It is certainly good that you have this idea, but the Thirteen Islands are different from the land. The demon forces at sea are already deeply rooted, and the Thirteen Island Lords are particularly powerful. If you move one, it will affect the whole situation. We cannot act rashly."
Lochlin's words make sense; there are too many demons on the Thirteen Islands, and if things go wrong, it could lead to a full-scale war.
Moreover, with the thirteen island lords plus the two True Demon Saints who escaped from the mainland, there are a total of fifteen Demon Saints. If they really join forces, Ye Kang and Luo Qilin will be a tough opponent.
Thinking of this, Ye Kang suddenly had an idea: "General, I have an idea."
"Let me explain."
"I possess a supernatural power that allows me to transform into a demon beast. Since demons are revered on this island, I will seize the incense offerings in the guise of a demon. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Lokilin's eyes widened.
He truly hadn't expected Ye Kang to possess such miraculous abilities.
"If this plan succeeds, it will be excellent. Solving the Thirteen Islands from within is the easiest way. However, you will be going to sea alone, which will be fraught with danger."
"Don't worry, General. With my current strength, even if I'm no match for them, I can escape without any worries."
Luo Qilin thought about it and agreed. Ye Kang was capable of challenging opponents of higher levels, and now that he had reached the Yin Realm, in a one-on-one fight, apart from that old man at the Yang Extinction Realm, no one among the thirteen demon saints could reliably defeat him.
He nodded and said, "If that's really the case, you'll have made a tremendous contribution, and being promoted and given a higher rank is a given. Just be careful and if you're not up to the task, you should flee immediately."
"Thank you very much, General! Ye Kang will remember this!"
Ye Kang's eyes lit up with joy; the general had agreed to his idea.
In fact, he had just come up with this idea, just to be absolutely sure and steal the incense offerings without making a sound.
He immediately returned to his residence, summoned Kuang Zheng and his two lieutenants, gave them instructions on what to be careful about, and then flew alone into the wilderness.
Impersonating a demon is simply impossible for other martial artists, because they don't even possess the most basic demonic energy.
But for Ye Kang, it shouldn't be too simple.
Once the Demon Body Refining Technique was released, the true energy immediately transformed into boundless demonic power. The demonic aura surged, and dark clouds covered the sun. No matter how you looked at it, it was an extremely terrifying demon.
Even so, there were still some flaws, but Ye Kang's cultivation level had increased and his primordial spirit had become stronger. He only needed to use his primordial spirit to conceal himself and then use his primordial spirit to imitate the true form of the demon soul, and then there would be no more flaws.
In addition to that, there is a crucial step.
That is the python swallowing the white mist.
This supernatural power is the most crucial step in Ye Kang's transformation into a demon. With the power of the supernatural power, he can transform into a python demon. As long as the supernatural power is not lost, Ye Kang can always maintain the appearance of a python demon.
White mist rose up, and Ye Kang had transformed into a giant white python.
He then used illusion magic to transform into human form, but with a different face, surrounded by demonic energy, as if he were truly a python demon in human form.
Qianmian Yixing also played a part in this, making his disguise even more difficult to detect.
A moment later, a young man in flowing white robes slowly emerged from the forest.
Ye Kang smiled, his appearance and demeanor completely different from his true self.
Especially her temperament; the yin-like softness that breaks through the yin-heavy is used here, and it is completely flawless and natural. At first glance, people will feel that this is an extremely evil demon.
"That should be enough."
Ye Kang confidently opened his folding fan and flew directly to the sea.
Instead of going directly from the coast of the four counties to the sea, he took a long detour, entering the sea from the Cangwu Mountains.
In this way, they can disguise themselves as demons from the Cangwu Mountains.
Fifteen minutes later, he stepped onto the waves and finally saw the first island.
If this were the island closest to the coast, it would be called Tinglang Island. The island has at least 100,000 inhabitants, but they are all under the control of the Wild God. Every day, they do nothing but fish and worship, providing incense to the Wild God.
When Ye Kang arrived on the shore, he did not conceal his demonic aura. Immediately, some demons sensed something was wrong and appeared directly in front of him.
"What brings you to Tinglang Island, fellow Daoist?"
The speaker wore a red robe, a tall crown on his head, and a colorful cloak draped over his back.
This outfit reminded Ye Kang of a phoenix bloodline he had previously subdued, which was now in the Ink Jade Realm, busy laying eggs every day.
It appears to be a chicken spirit, with a cultivation level roughly at the early stage of the Demon Saint realm.
Ye Kang laughed and said, "This place is nice. I'll take it. You can get lost now."
"Fellow Daoist, are you perhaps joking with me?"
The chicken essence frowned, thinking he had misheard.
Where did this wild demon come from, so ignorant of the rules?
Ye Kang didn't waste any words. With a thought, his powerful demonic energy erupted, revealing his aura as a mid-stage demon saint.
"what!"
Chicken Essence's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
It turns out to be a mid-stage demon saint. Why would such a being come to the sea to cause trouble?
His tone suddenly became respectful as he said, "My lord, this place is the territory of my Demon God Alliance, not unclaimed land."
"Enough with the noise! I, Tun Chen, am now the master of this island."
Ye Kang roared, and his imposing aura caused Chicken Essence's expression to change drastically.
He retorted angrily, "My lord, you'd better not do this. Our Demon God Alliance does not welcome outsiders. Do you want to invite annihilation?"
"What kind of bullshit Demon God Alliance is this? The demon race does things by whoever has the biggest fist. If you don't get out of my territory, don't blame me for being impolite."
Ye Kang uttered a threatening remark, then gathered his demonic power, ready to strike at any moment.
Chicken Essence knew he wouldn't get the better of them; if it really came down to a fight, he wouldn't stand a chance against a mid-stage Demon Saint.
Therefore, he could only leave behind a fierce look before fleeing into the distance.
Seeing this, Ye Kang did not give chase. Instead, he smiled and flew into the sky, broadcasting to the entire island.
"I, Tun Chen, hereby assume command of Tinglang Island from this day forward. Anyone who disagrees may come and challenge me!"
In an instant, the entire island was stunned.
"Where is Lord Divine Rooster?! Could he have been defeated?!"
The mortals were bewildered, while the demons trembled in fear, not daring to show their faces.
Ye Kang easily took control of the entire situation. With a casual gesture, he forcibly summoned more than a dozen minor demons at the Star Luo Realm and Nirvana Realm.
"Are you the henchmen of that pheasant?"
Upon hearing this, the group of lesser demons trembled with fear and immediately knelt down, saying, "My lord, spare our lives! We were just errand boys!"
Ye Kang smiled and said, "Perfect timing. I'm in need of a few errand boys. Go and replace all the golden statues on the island with mine."
Upon hearing this, the little demons turned pale with fright.
"My lord, that is the golden body of the Chicken God! How dare we touch it!"
Ye Kang was immediately enraged: "You dare to talk back!"
Having said that, a thick fog swept by, instantly taking the little demon's life.
The other lesser demons were so frightened that they all knelt down and kowtowed.
Ye Kang's expression hardened: "Any more questions?"
"No more! We'll get on it right away!"
The little demons dared not say anything more; they had already done so much of this, so they naturally didn't need to be taught.
Soon, the craftsmen began to carve Ye Kang's golden statue, in the form of Swallowing Dust, of course.
The lesser demons were all more desperate than the last.
They pushed over the golden statue of the Chicken God and replaced it with someone else's. If the Chicken God found out, they would surely die.
This really was an unexpected disaster.
……
Meanwhile, on the fifth of the thirteen islands.
The chicken god transformed into a streak of red light and immediately flew up, directly transmitting its voice to a powerful demon on the island: "My lord, something terrible has happened! My Listening Waves Island has been robbed!"
"Oh?"
The great demon slowly turned its head, revealing itself to be a water buffalo.
"Have the people on the shore made a move?"
"It's not human, it's some wild demon from who-knows-where, with mid-stage cultivation, it's unreasonable, it just seized the island and kicked me out."
The chicken's feathers fluttered wildly in the air, its eyes filled with resentment.
Among the thirteen island lords, he was the weakest, so he could only rely on other powerful demon saints.
The Demon Yuan Great Sage before him was his backer, a powerful expert whose cultivation had reached the peak of the mid-stage.
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage of Demonic Origin looked on with a strange expression.
"How could there be wild demons at sea? Could they have come from the Cangwu Mountains?"
"Judging from the direction, yes, could they have escaped from Yanzhou?"
"That's possible. Did you manage to see what that thing's true form was?"
"It's a white python. Its bloodline doesn't seem particularly special, but its cultivation level is far superior to mine."
"White python... Is there such a monster nearby?"
The Great Sage of Demonic Origin pondered for a moment, unable to fathom the wild demon's purpose.
However, the Thirteen Islands must not fall into the hands of others. The Thirteen Islands established the Demon God Alliance to deal with this situation.
Incense offerings are already limited; if one more person eats, it means someone else will have to eat less.
In order to ensure that no other person or demon could interfere, the thirteen demon saints formed an alliance.
Now that something has happened on Tinglang Island, Demon Yuan Dasheng can't just ignore it.
He immediately took the Chicken God and flew back to Tinglang Island.
The two demon souls scanned the area and were shocked to discover that Ye Kang was already directing the little demons to change their golden bodies.
Seeing his temple, which he had built up over many years, destroyed, the Chicken God was so angry that he vomited blood and couldn't help but roar to the sky.
A loud rooster crowed throughout the island, leaving everyone looking bewildered.
Lord Chicken God, why are you back again?
The little demons' faces turned black and white in turns. Oh no, the Chicken God has found out, they're doomed!
