Chapter 1045 - 1031: All Is Clear

Su Muyao sneered and said, "Maintain human form? You are essentially demon beasts, yet need to maintain human form? Utterly ridiculous."

Su Muyao’s expression was exceedingly cold; she despised these demon beasts the most.

If it weren’t for needing to interrogate this female demon beast, she would wish to kill her on the spot.

Chen Ji was unaware of the hatred, loathing, and mockery in Su Muyao’s words and mechanically replied, "Maintaining human form allows faster cultivation."

"Keeping the original form of a demon beast, you can’t cultivate through nature’s spiritual energy; you can only use the unique methods of the Demon Clan, but such cultivation is inadequate."

Su Muyao furrowed her brows slightly, "Your demon beasts’ unique cultivation methods?"

"What methods?"

Chen Ji answered, "Devouring a beastman’s superpower to enhance one’s cultivation."

"In critical moments, you can even devour a demon beast’s cultivation to elevate your cultivation."

Su Muyao’s gaze became sharper, with a surge of killing intent, "Your demon beasts are truly cruel and bloodthirsty."

Su Muyao had extreme disdain for these demon beasts, as they cared nothing for rules.

Chen Ji didn’t mind at all, laughed heartily, "What’s wrong with that? It’s survival of the fittest, any method is viable as long as you get stronger."

"Besides, this method rapidly enhances power, though it’s unstable."

"We’ve even taught some Insect Clan beastmen this method, they also like using it for power enhancement."

Su Muyao’s expression was icy, "Even so, why do you need Crystal Stones?"

Chen Ji said, "As I mentioned, to maintain human form. Devouring beastman or even demon beast abilities enhances cultivation, but doesn’t sustain human form."

"Hence, pure Crystal Stone energy is necessary."

"Such pure Crystal Stone energy can rapidly enhance cultivation and help demon beasts maintain human form."

Su Muyao’s eyes filled with killing intent, "So you intend to use blood to nurture these Crystal Stones."

Chen Ji spoke, "These Crystal Stones emerged from being nourished by the Dragon Clan’s aura."

"Nourishment by the Dragon Clan’s aura, you’re babbling nonsense."

This is an isolated Fusang Forest, with no Dragon Clan nearby, no sea.

Chen Ji automatically began, "Our King said that this entire Fusang Forest was once the Hongmeng Island in the center of Hongmeng Sea, a former home of the Dragon Clan."

Su Muyao gave her an elixir, causing her to uncontrollably spill what she knew.

"That was aeons ago, according to our King, this island had nothing remarkable, but our Demon Clan, after much struggle, opened the Gate to enter this world only to be blocked by the Dragon Clan, particularly the Black Dragon King closed the Gate."

"The blood of their clansmen spilled onto this island, through countless ages pure energy Crystal Stones emerged."

"During cosmic chaos, landscapes changed, this island drifted to the outskirts of Fusang Continent."

"Our King acquired a Divine Artifact to locate this place, and through a special Sacrificial Array, sent us here to collect Crystal Stones back."

"Even discovered the Taixu Secret Forest, alas it has Restrictions, demon beasts cannot enter, so Plant-type and Insect Clan beastmen were sent to gather Immortal Crystal Stones..."

"And those sent were tasked to kill the female suspected as the Immortal Phoenix auspicious beast."

Many things Chen Ji said suddenly connected with past events.

Previously unclear matters, Su Muyao suddenly understood.

She mentioned the Taixu Secret Forest, which must be the Taixu Secret Realm.

That Qiu Zhezhi is the Eldest Young Master of Insect Clan’s Ant Clan, arranged to excavate those Immortal Crystal Stones.

Though those Immortal Crystal Stones were absorbed by her.

However, a portion seemed to be sent by Qiu Zhezhi back to Ancient Wilderness Continent.

Her eyes narrowed in danger, "What is that Divine Artifact?"

Chen Ji said, "It’s the Taichu Compass."

Upon hearing Taichu, Su Muyao immediately thought of the Taichu Mountain and River Map.

"Where did you get the Taichu Compass?"

Chen Ji began, "It was obtained from Cangwu Luoxia Mountain, originally something Heavenly Dao left for the Immortal Phoenix auspicious beast, ha, in the end, it was taken by us demon beasts."

"That item can even locate the reincarnation place of the Black Dragon King."

"Initially, it was the presence of the Black Dragon King that hindered demon beasts from crossing to the Beastman Continent, and his Destructive Black Lotus’s power was weakened."

"So, while he reincarnated with only partial remnants of his soul, his power not fully restored, before awakening, the Destructive Black Lotus Petals annihilated his tribe again in Floating Light Cyan Creek Sea."

"Originally, he wasn’t that easy to kill, but alas, he was bent on protecting his little fiancée, leading to his demise, haha, foolish..."

"All you fools, us demon beasts wouldn’t hold feelings so heavily, strength is paramount, living is paramount..."

These demon beasts detested beastmen behaviors the most.

Humph, what’s the use.

Listening to this, Su Muyao’s face turned pale.

Everything linked, she understood.

The hidden masterminds behind it all were demon beasts.

In her past life at Floating Light Cyan Creek Sea, while she was in the Immortal Realm, her brother protected her.

She knew.

She looked at Di Fu Yuan, with an expression of pity and guilt.

Di Fu Yuan gently held her hand, softly said, "Don’t think about those things, now we’re both alright, that’s what matters most."

Su Muyao nodded, steadied her mind and continued to ask, "Are there any demon beasts left in Cangwu Luoxia Mountain?"

Chen Ji coldly snorted, "There are Restrictions set by Heavenly Dao there, ever since Heavenly Dao wholeheartedly protected the Immortal Phoenix auspicious beast when it died, the Restrictions activated, and demon beasts can’t get close."

Speaking of this, Chen Ji felt hate.

"That Immortal Phoenix auspicious beast died, yet revived, the spirit doesn’t know where it went."

"However, what’s the use? Us demon beasts planned many schemes to murder her, while she’s protected by Heavenly Dao’s power, the Destructive Black Lotus conceals Heavenly Dao, our demon beasts and Insect Clan joined forces, that Spider Beastman seized her Beast Husband, altering her plan to save Beast World."

"Who thought Heavenly Dao already planned many potential Beast Husbands for her?"

"Her choice would become Beast God."

"Now, a Beast God has already appeared."

Su Muyao grew increasingly shocked, realizing her past suspicions were correct.

"Are you afraid of the Beast God appearing?"

Chen Ji heard Beast God and showed a panic expression.

"Beast God can’t appear, must prevent Beast God from emerging, cannot let Beast World rules reboot, they’ll support Immortal Phoenix to become... ah..."

As she spoke, she began to scream.

Her head started to hurt.

"So you fear Beast God appearing, it poses a great threat to you demon beasts, right?"

Thus, Su Muyao felt relieved.

Then she must ensure the Twelve Beast Gods appear.

"What are the words that follow?"

Chen Ji shook her head, "I don’t know, vaguely heard, but can’t recall."

"What was the Evil Thought Soul that initially took over the Immortal Phoenix auspicious beast’s body?"

Chen Ji laughed heartily, "It’s the soul of our demon beast, we used countless methods to occupy that body."

"Alas, despite weakened power, Heavenly Dao still tracked down the demon beast soul we planted and killed it."

Renders their plan futile.

"But even so, due to killing the demon beast soul and having to protect that body, weakened further power, consciousness fell dormant, aiding us demon beasts in many maneuvers."
