Chapter 397: It seems like taking a Nascent Soul stage demon as a slave wouldn't be bad.
"You stinking crocodile, if you dare to look at me like that again, believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out right now!"
Shen Rugo was furious as the Sky-Splitting Crocodile scrutinized her from head to toe with astonishment.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, this humble demon wouldn't dare!"
The Sky-Splitting Crocodile quickly withdrew its gaze and divine sense, lowered its head, and said tremblingly, "However, Your Highness, could you tell me exactly what level of Qi Refining you are, and why you are so terrifying that even I, a Nascent Soul demon, am afraid of you?"
It needs to figure this out.
"As you can see, it's the eighteenth level of Qi Refining, a level you've never heard of before."
Shen Rugo straightened her chest, raised her head high, and said proudly, "Don't tell me you haven't heard of it. In the entire cultivation world, whether human, demon, or monster, no one has ever heard of it, let alone achieved it!"
"This princess is a unique being throughout history, in heaven and earth, in the realms of humans, immortals, and demons!"
To be honest, just the fact that she has reached the eighteenth level of Qi Refining is enough to make her proud.
This was not only an unprecedented level of achievement, but it also gave her, a "newbie in Qi Refining," the combat power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Is it really the eighteenth level of Qi Refining? Or is it an eighteenth level that has never been seen before in history?"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile was utterly shocked by Shen Rugo's arrogant demeanor, and his heart nearly jumped out of his throat.
"Don't make a fuss, you stinky crocodile!"
This princess has only been cultivating for half a year!
"When you see me again in ten or eight years, you'll be even more shocked than a crocodile!"
"Only cultivated for half a year?"
"Your Highness, may this humble demon follow you forever, serving as your most loyal servant! My loyalty to you is sworn to the heavens!"
Unexpectedly, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile suddenly asked cautiously, his face full of worry, as if afraid of being rejected.
"You stinky crocodile, what's with this sudden change of heart? Didn't you always hate me and want to devour me?"
"Your Highness, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! This little demon is truly willing to follow you and be your most loyal servant!"
"You stinky crocodile, something's getting weirder and weirder of you. Do you have a penchant for being someone's servant?"
Shen Rugo was filled with suspicion. In her memory, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile was not only of bad character, but also exceptionally fierce and cruel.
"Your Highness, you have misunderstood!"
This little demon has always been unruly and disdainful of everyone. But to you, Princess, this little demon truly admires you to the point of prostration and is willing to follow you as your servant!
"If Your Highness is willing, I will now swear an oath to the heavens and make a vow to the Heavenly Dao..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Shen Rugo quickly interrupted it, "Don't make any oaths yet, I'm not planning to take in any servants."
Besides, you're so huge, I wouldn't have anywhere to put you if I took you in, and I'll be leaving soon anyway.
The secret realm is about to open, at which time I will return to the outside world and enter the Star Palace.
We must keep a low profile for now and avoid being discovered by other sects.
If one were to take a large crocodile in the late Nascent Soul stage out, it would surely shock all the sects and expose one's secrets.
Before she had truly grown up, Star Palace lacked the confidence and strength to confront the ten major sects, especially Lingxiao Pavilion.
"Your Highness, do you not find this little demon pleasing?"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile looked utterly dejected.
"It's not that I look down on you. You're only at the late Nascent Soul stage, barely qualified to be my lowest-ranking servant."
But it's really inconvenient for me right now, mainly because you're too big, and I have nowhere to put you!"
"Your Highness, if one day I break through to the Nascent Soul realm, able to change my size at will and transform into human form, would you agree to take me in?"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile pressed for more information, its eyes filled with anticipation.
"If you really have that ability, it's not impossible."
But you stinky crocodile, I get the feeling you have a bit of a servile streak? Is being a lackey addictive, and gives you a sense of accomplishment?
Shen Rugo was still a little skeptical, scrutinizing the Sky-Splitting Crocodile.
"Your Highness, it's settled then!"
Once I break through to the Nascent Soul realm, I will come to find you!
"Could you tell me, little demon, which cultivation world and sect do you come from? How can I find you?"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile completely ignored Shen Rugo's strange look and shouted excitedly.
"Don't you know which world this secret realm is in?"
Shen Rugo was surprised.
"We truly don't know. We've never left this place; we've been kept in this secret realm the whole time!"
"So you were all imprisoned?"
That's pitiful, isn't it?
The sect I belong to is located in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent, outside this secret realm, and is called Star Palace.
My name is Shen Rugo, remember it well.
"If one day you break through to the Nascent Soul stage and escape this cage, just come find me at the Star Palace!"
Shen Rugo was eventually moved by the sincerity of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile. Who wouldn't be tempted by a demon beast servant at the Nascent Soul stage?
The Nascent Soul Realm is the top combat power in the cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent. If this crocodile can really break through and become my servant, I can use its power to show off my power in Tianyuan Continent in the future.
If any sect disagrees, just send the Sky-Splitting Crocodile over and it will devour that sect.
Shen Rugo never expected that the Sky-Splitting Crocodile, trapped for so many years, had not broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Not to mention in the short term, even if it took another hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years, it might not be able to break through.
As for what realm she was in at that time, or which world she went to, even she herself didn't know.
"Yes, Your Highness! This humble demon will work even harder to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible!"
The Sky-Splitter Crocodile's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Alright, you stinky crocodile, let's go."
Shen Rugo slapped the Sky-Splitting Crocodile's head hard, then stood on its massive head again. "Time is running out. I must refine the Divine Mountain and begin the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment as soon as possible!"
Previously, the Sky-Splitting Crocodile had always been filled with fear of the Divine Mountain, after all, there were two guardians at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage there. But at this moment, it showed no fear, directly leading Shen Rugo and charging over there, proud and arrogant.
"Why did that despicable Sky-Splitting Crocodile take that hateful human to the sacred mountain?"
All the demons were watching the movements of the human and the demon, and they were puzzled when they saw them arrive at the foot of the sacred mountain.
"Could this human be here for the sacred mountain? To refine it?"
Suddenly, a monster shivered and cried out in alarm.
"Refine the divine mountain? How is that possible?"
"The sacred mountain is composed of the boundless power of the Heavenly Dao, and is permeated with the Dao's essence. How could a mere human being possess the virtue and ability to refine the sacred mountain?"
The other monsters all denied it.
In their hearts, the sacred mountain is not only a holy mountain, but also the foundation upon which this secret realm is built.
Shen Rugo arrived at the foot of the majestic, ancient, and azure sacred mountain.
Up close, the sacred mountain appears even more awe-inspiring, its surface covered with Dao patterns and shimmering with a hazy blue glow.
Nine enormous steps, as if carved from green jade, encircle the sacred mountain like nine jade belts.
Shen Rugo gazed at the nine steps, her heart surging with emotion.
As the distance closed, her powerful divine sense could clearly sense the terrifying power of the Heavenly Dao contained within the steps.
Looking around, she didn't see the two legendary demonic beasts. Taking a deep breath and adjusting herself to her peak condition, Shen Rugo stepped onto the first step!
