I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years!

Book 5: Chapter 30: The Secret Of The First Demon Emperor

“What’s the big secret?”

Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue asked in unison. Obviously, neither of them cared very much about the magical skills cultivated by the first Demon Emperor.

“The first Demon Emperor and the first ancestor of the Demon Race might not be the same demon.”

Wise Immortal replied directly:

“Originally, The Demon Royal Family bloodline did not originate from the noble of the divine beast; the Nine-Headed Dragon.”

He talked about everything recorded on the stone tablet, and Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue finally understood.

Just as the human race had an Immortal Ancestor who created the cultivation method at the beginning and spread it to all living beings, the demon race also had a Demon Ancestor who created the cultivation method for demons, passing it down to their descendants.

Currently, because the Demon Realm’s royal family was of the Nine-Headed Dragon Clan, people in the Demon Realm also generally believed that this mysterious Demon Ancestor was also the first Demon Emperor; the person who had unified all of the demon tribes. In the demon world, although lower demons were dissatisfied with the royal family, they still maintained some respect for the first Demon Emperor. They were equivalent to the God of the demon race.

But now, according to the records read by Wise Immortal from the stone tablet, the one who created the cultivation technique of the demon race was a completely different demon. In reality, the first Demon Emperor was not the first demon in the world to acquire transformation. Before him, there was a demon who achieved that. That was the real Demon Ancestor.

“And they weren’t a Nine-Headed Dragon at the beginning. They were just a poisonous insect, the kind used to refine Gu.”

Wise Immortal then said:

“Not to mention back then, in the Era of God, and even in today’s era, they are not a strong race.”

“Then how did they become a winged Nine-Headed Dragon?” Su Xiangxue asked nervously. She didn’t want to believe that she was actually a descendant of some poisonous insect.

“Through the second technique recorded above,” Wise Immortal shook his head and barely turned himself towards the stone tablet.

“The second technique is called ‘Ascend Dragon Gate’. Its effect allows cultivators to improve their bloodline. Each time they break through one level, they can transform and even change races. Although, after countless generations of reproduction, we and the creatures of the Gods are very different. There are some things that have been passed down through the blood of generations and recorded in the most basic factors in our bodies. Cultivating this technique can make people unearth these hidden signals and evolve in the direction of our ancestral origin. The first Demon Emperor was able to cultivate himself into a member of the Nine-Headed Dragon Clan through such a technique, plus having swallowed a lot of divine beasts.”

“What an inspirational story,” Bai Qiuran sighed.

Su Xiangxue touched her elbow and said suspiciously:

“In the future, will I or my children suddenly grow limbs of poisonous insects or something like that?”

“What are you thinking about?” Bai Qiuran patted her head, “How can a person grow the limbs of poisonous insects?”

“That’s right,” Su Xiangxue put down her hands, but she still looked a little nervous.

All the girls were afraid of insects. Even the high-level cultivators still felt uncomfortable, not to mention that they suddenly learned that their ancestor was actually a poisonous insect.

“Actually, you don’t need to worry,” Seeing her so nervous, Wise Immortal spoke up.”After practicing this technique, the race of the first Demon Emperor has transformed into a dragon. No matter how the bloodline changes in the future, it will belong to the dragon clan. Your brother didn’t become a three-headed insect, did he? …If you really don’t believe it, why don’t you two go back and have a try for babies?”

“It makes sense…” Su Xiangxue’s gaze fell on Bai Qiuran, looking quite moved.

“Hmm.” Bai Qiuran coughed and changed the subject abruptly. He asked:

“Since there is this kind of technique that could make every member of the demon race become a dragon, why not spread it?”

“What a blunt way to change your topic… What nonsense are you spewing?”Wise Immortal replied.

“If everyone in the Demon Realm were a dragon, then how could the First Demon Emperor have been its ruler? Every ruling requires a lower class.”

“Ahem, uh, what you said makes sense,” Bai Qiuran replied absently. Fortunately, Wise Immortal and Su Xiangxue didn’t mention the topic of ‘babies’ again.

Su Xiangxue recorded the two exercises on the stone tablet, as well as the secret of the first Demon Emperor. Then, Bai Qiuran took Wise Immortal, turned around in this tomb, and asked:

“Anything else? Are there any clues about my Heavenly Jealous Physique breaking through the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

“Let me see… Oh, there seems to be something on that wall.”

Bai Qiuran lifted Wise Immortal over, letting the skull scan it, and then:

“This was originally a mural,” Wise Immortal said, “which recorded scenes of the human race and the demon race defeating the gods. It also contains a line of words: [The old sky collapses, the new sky rises, demon and human both take their fate, changing the sky and the earth] What does it mean?”

Just as he finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared on the stone wall in front of him. Golden rays of light shot out from the split, the stone crumbling. Behind it, there was a different wall, made of material similar to the stone tablet. The golden light flowed, gradually forming a big map.

“This is a map of the demon realm?” Su Xiangxue was also disturbed by the change. She came to Bai Qiuran and watched the golden light on the stone wall with them.

“No, it’s a map of the entire world.”

Bai Qiuran said solemnly.

“You see, here is the Demon Realm, here is the Cang Sea, and there is an island on the sea. This should be Fusang… The river on the far west side is the Broken Soul River. And to the west of the Broken Soul River… There’s actually such a big piece of land left.”

On the map, to the west of the Broken Soul River, there was actually a continent in the wild area equal to the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands plus the Wilderness. In other words, Broken Soul River was actually in the middle of the world. The whole world was split in two.

“Wait, place names are beginning to appear on it,” Wise Immortal said.

After the golden light finished sketching the map, the remaining light gathered together and condensed into a string of incomprehensible text everywhere on the map. Finally, on the map, in the depths of the new wilderness even further west, a golden spot was marked.

“Let’s see, the Nine Provinces and Ten Lands and the Eastern Wilderness are one piece. Their name is ‘Human World’. The Demon Realm here is called ‘Demon Realm’. The island on the sea is ‘Fusang’. The Broken Soul River was not originally called ‘Broken Soul’, but instead ‘Heavenly River’, and so on… Found it! The golden mark is called the Land of the Gods, where the last god died in battle. Most relics of the Gods’ Era are buried there. I think the clues you’re looking for will be there too.”
