Listening to White Bear Bai's rambling, Yun Yang was so angry that he almost reverted to his human form.
There must be something wrong with this bear's head. He must have forgotten to take the wrong medicine and eaten fake medicine!
You've offended me and we haven't settled it yet, have we?
You can actually laugh so happily, there's really no one else like you …
Yun Yang looked at the bear from the corner of his eyes. This fellow's huge head was definitely not filled with brain matter. It was either cotton, water, or cotton mixed with water!
For the first time, Yun Yang felt a tinge of guilt and regret. Although his original intention was to find a team of stupid fellows to enter Tianguan City, this was too stupid.
Although it was not a crime to deceive fools these days, it was still a little unbearable!
Taking a deep breath to control his temper, Yun Yang said indifferently, "The Demon Race's reproductive ability is much better than that of humans … This is also where our race's advantage lies. It is also because of this reason that the battlefield will never lack our warriors. "
White Bear Bai grinned, "Sir is right, it is very reasonable, it is thought-provoking, and it is well received."
Yun Yang felt a little speechless. What was this thing saying? It was very reasonable and thought-provoking?
This is something that everyone knows, okay?
Oh my God!
"This reputed one is also forced to make a living this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way here …" Yun Yang, who was the fox demon, began to sigh sadly.
White Bear Bai rolled his eyes, his gaze full of disbelief and disbelief. "Sir, you too …"
Does that mean … such a prominent figure like you would actually have a financial crisis? The Bear Race is not smart, but we are not so easily deceived!
Forced to make a living?
Yun Yang sighed. "The strongest among you now is only at the level of a Holy King, but how much resources have you consumed to cultivate to this point? Do you feel that the resources consumed now are already astronomical, but the resources needed in the future are even more unimaginable? Even if you work hard every day, you still can't make ends meet. But do you know how much resources are needed to maintain the needs of cultivation at my level? "
White Bear Bai and his brothers fell into deep thought, their expressions changing.
The daily needs of peak Holy Venerable xiuzhe were beyond their knowledge, but it was also astounding!
"Although there's a difference in cultivation between you and me, as a high-level cultivator, the situation is similar every time you're about to break through. It's normal that you can't run away anymore. You have to rush over in one go … And at that time, how many treasures of heaven and earth will be needed … If there's a sudden lack of resources during the breakthrough, it'll be a waste of effort and the failure of the breakthrough will be secondary …"
Yun Yang chuckled. "Do you know what the most serious consequence is?"
White Bear stammered, "Qi deviation?"
Yun Yang shook his head. "Wrong! Qi deviation is only the lightest case. At that level, only Qi deviation can make people feel lucky … The most serious case is death, with both the spirit and spirit destroyed! "
The demons sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time.
"This reputed one is now at the last step … I came out this time to look for some opportunities and try to break through … I didn't expect to meet an old opponent that I've been fighting for half my life."
Yun Yang sighed dejectedly. "I really don't know if this reputed one's fate has come to an end. My spatial ring was destroyed in the battle a few days ago, and I've lost about seventy to eighty percent of my resources. I'm only left with this bit of Amethyst Honey, but I've also met you guys. Do you think a million saint coins would attract this reputed one?"
White Bear Bai looked ashamed.
"But you guys …" Yun Yang frowned. "You don't look young anymore. Why do you only have such a low cultivation base?"
White Bear Bai said shamefully, "We're all relying on our family heritage and innate talents … Our innate talents are shallow, there's no strong cultivator willing to take us in as disciples, and we don't have quality resources to support our cultivation …"
"We're able to come this far because our brothers fought each other every day, slowly honing our skills … What we cultivate is the lowest level of our Demon Race, the Demonic Saint Art …"
The brothers lowered their heads in dejection, the previous jovial atmosphere gone.
"What a pity."
Yun Yang sighed. "You guys are dumb, but your temperaments aren't bad. Especially after such a long period of training, you've forged yourselves into pure gold and unpolished jade … If someone with a discerning eye could sculpt you … It's a pity that this reputed one has to return as soon as possible after dealing with this matter … I don't have time …"
White Bear Bai and the rest's eyes lit up at once.
Although they were a little stupid, they weren't really stubborn. They couldn't understand it no matter what. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to cultivate the most basic Demonic Saint Arts to the current level. Without any eye contact, the six bears knelt on the ground. "Lord! My lord, we're willing to acknowledge you as our master, please take us in. Our words are the law, and we won't regret it even if we die nine times! "
As soon as they finished, they kowtowed continuously, not listening for a long time.
A certain Fox Demon senior did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I only said it's a pity, and that I don't have time, but when did I say that I want to take you guys in as disciples?"
White Bear Bai and the rest only kowtowed.
Perhaps it was a collective epiphany that struck these fellows, they did not even use their demonic energy to protect themselves, only causing their six heads to bleed profusely. They were dumb, but they knew that this was a rare opportunity for their brothers and that it would not come again if they missed it.
It was rare for an almighty figure to reveal a little bit of his true nature, and to admire them as well.
If they missed this chance, there might not be another one in this lifetime.
Yun Yang frowned. "Even if you guys smash your heads, I'll never take you in as disciples. Don't blame me for being too frank. Even if your temperaments are worthy of admiration, your talents are still too poor to be my disciples. "
White Bear Bai and the rest only kowtowed and begged, "Please accept us, my lord!"
Blood had already formed a pool, a ghastly sight to behold, but the sound of the kowtowing did not stop. Instead, it grew louder and deeper.
White Bear Bai pleaded desperately, "My lord, my lord, although we brothers have some cultivation base, we're still the lowest of the lowest in this Demon Plain. No demon has ever looked up to us, and no demon has ever looked us in the eye. Walking in the Demon Plain, even a small demon that can be poked to death with a finger dares to humiliate us … It's just because we don't have a backer. Even though we're angry, we don't dare to offend them …"
"We're … suffering …"
"Please have mercy, my lord!"
"We want to become stronger! We want to become Daemon Kings too! "
White Bear Bai kowtowed to the ground, and with a loud thud, a large pool of blood spurted out. "If we miss this chance, there'll be no hope for us in this lifetime! Please have mercy, my lord! "
Yun Yang finally sighed. "Alright, alright. Get up, all of you, you gluttons. I'll probably stay here for a few months … during this period of time, you can ask me if you have any questions. "
"However, there's one thing you have to understand. You're not my disciples. If you dare to show off in the name of my disciples, I'll take your lives regardless of the reason."
Yun Yang said, "Will this do? Just take it as a form of good karma that I've forged in this world of mortals. "
White Bear Bai and the rest kowtowed hard. "Disciples pay respect to master!"
"I've said that I won't take you in. This will never happen!"
"Whether master accepts us or not, in our hearts, we're master's disciples!"
Yun Yang sighed. "Get up quickly. What's the point of all these big and burly men kneeling and sprawling? "
White Bear and the others kowtowed once more before standing up. Although their heads were bleeding profusely, and blood flowed all over the ground, all of them had smiles on their faces and were in high spirits.
"Master."
"I've told you many times, don't call me master …"
Yun Yang sighed again and again. "I really don't know if it's right or wrong to take you fellows in, is it karma or ill-fated karma …"
White Bear Bai and the rest only smiled foolishly, but no one answered him. Obviously, they were not really stupid …
"These saint coins … and Tianguan City … and this … the spiritual crystal that fellow took out just now, it's obviously from the Bound of Universe. How can it be used as a token of love? Is there a secret behind this? "
Yun Yang began to clear up his doubts.
As he got closer to the densely populated demon cities, he could no longer completely conceal himself with his manifestation powers. He had to arrange a public identity for himself so that it would be convenient for him to carry out his follow-up actions. At the same time, he had to familiarize himself with some basic affairs of the Demon Race so that he would not be exposed.
Otherwise, why would he go in when he would be in the dark after entering?
…
Hua Xiongsan had gone to look for a carriage, but with his demonic bloodline and financial resources, it was estimated that he would not be able to return anytime soon.
The bear demons eagerly set up a tent for their master, and respectfully invited their master to sit and wait. Then, they all squeezed into the tent one by one.
The closer he was to his master, the better …
This situation naturally formed a unique tea party.
After some conversation, Yun Yang finally had a more intuitive understanding of the Myriad Demon Plain.
The Myriad Demon Plain was indeed a barren land.
There was not enough to eat, not enough to drink, and the cultivation resources were so scarce that it made one's hair stand on end!
Although there was a heaven-defying grain fruit like the Lifeline Fruit, it was far from enough compared to the population of the Demon Race. It was not a drop in the bucket, but a drop in the bucket!
The reason was still what Yun Yang had said just now. The Demon Race's reproductive ability was too terrifying!
This was the strongest characteristic of the Demon Race, but it was also their fatal weakness!
Take a couple from the Rat Race as an example. They could give birth once a month, and each litter could have at least a dozen mice. It was common for the Rat Race to have more than a dozen mice. It was because the Rat Race's vitality and ability to adapt to the environment were unusually strong. Usually, they would mature after three months and could find a partner to reproduce …
To put it more intuitively, when a Rat Race couple gave birth to their twelfth litter of mouse babies in a year, they would also welcome their ninth litter of great-grandchildren at the same time.
In a year's time, the number of offspring produced by this Rat Race couple alone would exceed ten thousand. Moreover, this was the most conservative and lowest number. In a month's time, the number would increase by almost ten times, which would be a hundred thousand!
Although the Rat Race's vitality and ability to adapt to the environment were not the same as their cultivation talent – more than ninety-five percent of them were ordinary mice with a lifespan of one or two years at most, or they would die at birth – based on the Rat Race's reproductive level, they would still produce many offspring with cultivation talent!
As long as they were mice with cultivation talent, their lifespan would definitely not be an ordinary two or three years. It was unpredictable.
How many offspring of the Rat Race would be born if they continued to reproduce like this?
The number would be so huge that it was impossible to calculate. It was terrifying to imagine!
It was not that the Demon Emperor did not see the crisis of survival resources and gave the order to control the population of the Demon Race, starting from the start of reproduction. However, many of the Demon Race's lifespan was very short. Often, when the order was given, they would not even be born. In this process, without waiting for the notice, they would have already completed the reproduction task that far exceeded the expected number …
Then, when they finally received the notice, they would already be old or dying. There were even many who did not receive the notice even until their deaths …
After so many plans, the results were minimal. The upper echelons of the Demon Race also accepted their fate. It was impossible to control the reproduction.
Furthermore, even if you could control mice, bears, and wolves, how could you control the microscopic Demon Race like mosquitoes and ants?
Also, how could you control the Fish Race?
In the end, they were simply left to their own devices. Apart from those who were especially talented, some arrangements would be made. The rest would be left to their own devices.
It was precisely because of this specific living environment that the Demon Race had never believed in justice since ancient times. Instead, they believed in the survival of the fittest. The most extreme and direct way was to eliminate the weak and keep the strong.
There was a saying in the world that snakes eat mice for half a year, and mice eat snakes for half a year. The general idea was that snakes and mice were natural enemies. Within a year, snakes that were not in hibernation would eat mice on sight. In contrast, mice were the biggest enemies of dormant snakes. Countless hibernating snakes were eaten by mice.
This situation also existed in the Demon Realm, and was even more severe.
As cultivators, the Snake Demon and Rat Demon were natural opposites. The conflict between them was even more prominent. Almost every time they met, they would fight. However, the stronger one would live, and the weaker one would die!
And such an example did not only apply to species that were mutually exclusive. For example, if the Chicken Race was strong, then they could eat the Phoenix. There was no such thing as racial suppression!
Eat, eat …
Eat whatever you want, as long as you can eat it!
By right, the annual yield of the Fruit of Lifeline would be hundreds of billions of kilograms. If it were in the Bound of Universe, they would still be rich if they ate as much as they wanted. However, for the Demon Race, it was far from enough. Even with the addition of other crops, it was still far from enough!
Therefore, every year, there would be more than billions of Demon Race members killed each other, becoming food for their opponents!
But there were even more who did not have the talent to cultivate. They were destined to die silently the moment they were born.
This was the cruel reality of the Demon Race. It was bloody but helpless.
…
"Sky Crown City is the territory of the Crane Demon King. It is one of the more orderly cities in the Plains of Demons." White Bear Bai explained about Sky Crown City. "In the Plains of Demons, there are not more than a hundred such large and orderly cities. For other cities, entering the city is equivalent to entering a bandit's lair or a fighting ring. If not for their strength, they would never enter! "
…
"In a city like that, if you want to do business without a certain level of cultivation base, you won't be able to find anything in more than an hour. Not even your skin and bones will be left …"
White Bear Bai's face was pale. "Master, your cultivation base is profound and has reached the pinnacle of the Royal Saint. But from what you said earlier, you must have climbed up step by step. You should know that when cultivators of our generation go out to gather resources, it's already a narrow escape. When we come back to trade for resources, it's another narrow escape … Master, from the moment we're born, before we open our eyes, until the moment we close our eyes, we're always fighting!"
The other bears were weeping as well. "Other than not fighting in the womb, we have to face death at other times …"
White Bear Bai grinned. "I heard that I had a few brothers who were crushed to death by my father when he turned over in his sleep when they were just born …"
Yun Yang was speechless.
"I didn't expect the world to be so chaotic after years of closed-door cultivation. It's sad for the Demon Race, sad for the Demon Race."
Yun Yang sighed.
"Isn't that right …" White Bear Bai was full of resentment as well.
Yun Yang's indirect questioning confirmed another important fact. As the Demon Race was poor, they could only make some iron sheets and stamp them with a unique seal. These were the so-called sacred coins.
They were not like the Bound of Universe, where spiritual jade was used as a currency of equivalent value. It was more practical and could be spent while absorbing energy for cultivation … To the Demon Race here, this was a fantasy. Why did they have to be so extravagant?
Was there really such a thing?
Many demons with low cultivation base would not believe it even if they said it out loud! Boasting!
Even we Demon Emperors don't have such a rich family background! …
This situation had led to another matter. Once the Bound of Universe's spiritual jade was brought to the Demon Race, it would be considered a valuable item! An unparalleled treasure!
Just now, White Bear San had said that he would use the spiritual jade to give to his fiancée as a token of love, an engagement gift. It was true indeed!
Although it was only a piece of mid-class spiritual jade, it was more than enough. His father-in-law would feel very proud, especially since his daughter would have someone to rely on for life!
His son-in-law was the best, his daughter would never make a mistake in this lifetime!
…
However, after listening to the introduction, Yun Yang could not help feeling a little overwhelmed.
Was this really the case?
Could this be the main reason why the Demon Race wanted to rush to the Bound of Universe so desperately? F * ck, if it were me, I'd rather go to the Bound of Universe to be someone's pet … than stay here …!
"I have quite a lot of the spiritual jade from the human realm that you all view as treasures. Is this thing very rare?" Yun Yang mused.
White Bear Bai's eyes widened. "Master, you have the unparalleled treasure from the Bound of Universe?"
Unparalleled treasure …
Yun Yang was speechless. Putting aside the supreme-class spiritual jade, Yun Yang's spatial ring contained countless upper-class spiritual jade and mid-class spiritual jade. After all, when the Black and White Ruthless Duo traded with the Commerce League, what they gained the most was the spiritual jade. On the contrary, there was not even a piece of lower-class spiritual jade. After all, the price-performance ratio was too low …
"Back then, I had accepted a secret mission to infiltrate the human race …" Yun Yang looked as if he could not bear to recall the past as he said slowly, "When the mission was completed and I returned to the Demon Realm, I was discovered by the human experts guarding the sacred mountain. After a great battle, not only was I severely injured, my cultivation base had also fallen by half … I was unable to recover from the setback, so I became disheartened and decided to live in seclusion …"
Although Yun Yang's words were lamenting the past, to White Bear Bai and the rest of the Demon Race, it was no different from a bolt from the blue!
It was too amazing!
My master was so amazing back then!
Not only had he gone to the human realm and caused trouble, but his cultivation base had also fallen and he still had an unreachable profound cultivation base … What kind of almighty being must master have been in the past?
The fox demon that Yun Yang had transformed into looked up at the sky and did not speak for a long while. Suddenly, he sighed softly, "I'm old … I wonder when I can recover to nine tails …"
After saying that, eight large furry tails unexpectedly appeared behind his buttocks. They gently swayed, and then seemed to have suddenly discovered something. He frowned, and with a swoosh, the eight furry tails retracted.
Only one was left, squatting on the ground and continuing to sigh.
However, White Bear Bai and the other bears' eyes widened at once, feeling their hearts thumping wildly!
Eight tails!
That was obviously eight tails, eight clear tails!
Did this mean that their master was a master of the Fox Clan?
Listening to their master, it seemed like he had fallen from nine tails?
Oh my god …
The bears' mouths were parched and they were speechless for a moment.
"Don't tell others about my background so easily …" Yun Yang's weathered voice rang again, "My enemies in the Demon Plain … not to say that they are scattered all over the place …"
Almost scattered all over the place … enemies!
White Bear shuddered at the sound of it!
Oh my god!
You must have made enemies when you were nine tails, right?
Then your enemies … what kind of people are they?
"My enemies, any one of them … can annihilate your entire clan. It's not a joke to turn them into ashes with a flick of a finger, it really only takes a flick of a finger …"
Yun Yang glanced at White Bear Bai and smiled amiably.
"…"
The bears broke out in a cold sweat.
That scared them to death.
"So my previous identity is no longer needed …" Yun Yang sighed, "As long as I enter the city with my past identity … I'm afraid that Sky Crown City will be reduced to …"
"Understood, understood!" White Bear Bai became smart at once. "Master, your enemies must be influential figures, right?"
Yun Yang's weathered gaze said, "I'm ashamed to say this … one of them is the current King of the Fox Clan …"
"…"
The few bears began to tremble like a pendulum.
Master, you're ruthless! You're really ruthless!
"What identity should I use?" Yun Yang looked at White Bear Bai and the other bears with a frown.
Even if this white bear leader could not react in time, there were still other bears. Two heads were better than one, they could not all be idiots …
The bears were deep in thought, none of them speaking for a long time.
Yun Yang secretly rolled his eyes. F * ck me, I shouldn't have counted on these bears to come up with a solution. Rather than counting on them, I might as well just flash my human identity and charge in …
Forget it, I'll just go straight to the mission.
"The few of you, think of a way to get me a similar identity." Yun Yang said matter-of-factly, "If I were to go in with an unregistered identity, with my cultivation base, it would be troublesome no matter where I go …"
With a mission, the only thing to think of was how to complete it.
This was much simpler and more direct!
White Bear Bai jumped up excitedly, thumping his chest loudly. "Don't worry, master, leave it all to this disciple!"
