Yi Tian caught up to Dugu Chenglong on the stone path. He saw that Dugu Chenglong seemed to have something to say. Yi Tian didn't want to force his way through, so he stopped in front of Dugu Chenglong.
A moment later, Dugu Chenglong said, "Brother Yi's cultivation is profound. I admit that I am inferior to you."
Yi Tian replied, "Fellow Daoist Dugu is too polite. I merely restrained my spirit pressure and consumed the least amount of spirit force to get here."
Dugu Chenglong's expression became serious. "However, since we're already here, is Brother Yi really not curious about the Scarlet Eyed Demon's movements at all?"
Yi Tian calmly replied, "I also feel that there is a problem, but I can't find out his true intentions for now."
Dugu Chenglong said, "With our current position, it will take him at least three or four days to catch up to us. However, I am also very curious. Since he asked you to explore this place with him, why hasn't he appeared yet? Or perhaps when we reach the top of the mountain, we will find the Scarlet Eyed Demon waiting for us there."
"Fellow Daoist Dugu, what are you trying to say?" Yi Tian's expression was grave. Dugu Chenglong's words were undoubtedly sowing discord, but they were also reasonable. He could guess Dugu Chenglong's intentions, but he had to personally express his opinion.
Dugu Chenglong said with a serious expression, "In terms of strength, Fellow Daoist Song and I might not be able to defeat Brother Yi even if we work together. In this situation, we are about the same as facing the Scarlet Eyed Demon. Thus, if the two of you become enemies, it would be best for us. "
Yi Tian teased, "That is indeed the case, but does Fellow Daoist Dugu really think so?"
Dugu Chenglong said, "I did think so before, but now I don't think so anymore."
"Then why?" Yi Tian asked, puzzled.
Even if I obtain it, I may not be able to use it. However, since this Jasper Flower Pavilion can be used as a collection place, there must be something special about it. That is why I thought of coming here to see if I can find something good, "Dugu Chenglong said." Our goals are different, and there is no conflict of interest. Naturally, there is no need for us to be hostile. On the contrary, there is a possibility of us working together. Perhaps we will need Brother Yi's help in the future. "
Yi Tian's expression did not change when he heard that. However, he felt suspicious in his heart. This Dugu Chenglong's words had a hidden meaning. At the same time, he seemed to have a very subtle relationship with him. He could get close to him, but at the same time maintain a distance. Especially the last sentence, he had no idea what it meant when he said he wanted to take care of her.
After thinking about it, he braced himself and said, "With Fellow Daoist Dugu's status in the Heavenly Demon Race, I don't know what you would need my help in."
"Fellow Daoist Yi is too polite. You and Scarlet-Eyed Demon are the strongest Dacheng stage cultivators in the entire demon race. You two have the highest chance of reaching the Dacheng stage." Dugu Chenglong said. "The position of Demon Saint Crown Prince has been vacant for many years. Our Sky Demon race naturally doesn't want to see a one-eyed demon take it. Compared to Brother Yi, who is inextricably linked to our Heavenly Demon Race, we naturally hope that you can succeed. "
His heart tightened. He had never thought about the position of the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince. However, Dugu Chenglong was right. The Scarlet-Eyed Demon was a rogue cultivator. If he succeeded, he didn't know what to do with the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince.
After thinking about it, he smiled faintly and replied, "It is still too early to talk about reaching the Grand Ascension Stage. It won't be too late to talk about it when the time is right. However, the matter of the Scarlet-Eyed Demon that you mentioned is indeed a problem. Everything will depend on the situation. We'll talk about it after we reach the top of the mountain. "
After speaking, Yi Tian continued to walk forward. When he passed by Dugu Chenglong, he saw that Dugu Chenglong had retreated to the side. His eyes flashed with a trace of respect before returning to normal. Yi Tian did not suspect that Dugu Chenglong had missed him and continued to walk forward.
After passing halfway up the mountain, he continued to advance at a constant speed. At the same time, he released his spiritual sense and discovered that the two people behind him were also moving. On this occasion, they had learned their lesson and didn't blindly charge forward. Instead, they restrained their spiritual power and continued onward at the cost of expending the least amount of spiritual power.
Not long after, Yi Tian entered the stage where the clouds revolved around him. All of a sudden, he felt that the spiritual power around him was much thinner than below. It appeared that the further up he went, the less spiritual power he could replenish. After downing a bottle of spirit wine, he could feel a scorching sensation in his stomach. Soon, a burst of spiritual power surged out of his body, and Yi Tian hurriedly began to refine this burst of spiritual power as he continued onward.
As such, he was able to make up for the lack of spiritual power in his body. After walking for around a day and a half, the scenery before him lit up again. Yi Tian felt that he had emerged from the cloud and mist area, and he could already see the outline of the summit of the mountain. It would take him about two more days to reach his destination.
He looked down at the vast expanse of white clouds beneath his feet, and his spiritual sense was unable to penetrate them, so he naturally couldn't detect the two people behind him. Seeing as this was the case, Yi Tian wasn't in a hurry. He found a place to sit down on the stone steps and consumed a pill before adjusting his breathing.
He was about to reach the end of the mountain, but this was different from the past. If he were to rush things, it would appear that he was relying on his superior cultivation base to suppress the two of them. Just as Dugu Chenglong had said, Dugu Chenglong was no match for him, but if Dugu Chenglong teamed up with Song Li, he would have to carefully consider the consequences.
Rather than fighting to the death, it was better to work together. The one that made him feel the most uneasy was still the Scarlet Pupil Demon. After a few days of observation, he didn't find any traces of anyone being here.
Yi Tian wasn't stupid enough to believe that the Scarlet Pupil Demon would miss this great opportunity. Moreover, he faintly felt that the Scarlet Pupil Demon was hiding something from him. At this time, he was facing a hidden danger, so it was best not to fall out with Dugu Chenglong and Dugu Chenglong.
After waiting for half a day, he found that the two of them were about two hours apart from each other. It was clear that they didn't expect him to be waiting not far away.
Soon, Song Li arrived first, followed by Dugu Chenglong. After everyone arrived, Yi Tian smiled and said, "Since the two of you are here, let's set off. It will only take a few days to reach the peak."
"I didn't expect Brother Yi to be such an interesting person. I thought that the Demon Race only cared about their own interests, but it seems that my understanding of the Demon Race is still a bit off," Song Li joked.
Dugu Chenglong's expression froze for a moment before he laughed and said, "Brother Yi is an outstanding talent of the Demon Race and one of the most likely candidates for the next Crown Prince. His breadth of mind is naturally not something ordinary people can compare to."
Hearing Dugu Chenglong's praise, Yi Tian inwardly laughed, but his expression didn't change as he said, "I think the two of you don't need to stop to recover your spirit force. Let's go all the way."
