After absorbing all the high-level spiritual energy from the top-grade spirit stone, Lin Ye broke through the barrier.
The projection of the desolate cursed figure came forward and said, "Master, you have emerged from seclusion. The blood mist is now laid out, and you can infiltrate the underground kingdom."
"May you achieve a resounding victory and slay the great demon!"
The Crimson Emperor asked in astonishment, "You... are you going to fight other great demons?"
Lin Ye nodded: "It was a robbery and murder."
Chapter 389 Methods for Capturing the Successor of Demonic Arts (Part 2)
The underground kingdom where the three-headed demon gathers is the most dangerous place in the cultivation world today, and it is also a dead zone. No living cultivator can move around in the underground kingdom.
But some people knowingly venture into dangerous territory.
Upon hearing about Lin Ye's goal, the Crimson Emperor was so shocked that a large, semi-transparent eyeball appeared on his wrist, staring intently at Lin Ye.
Hmm... it's still a bit too early to involve her in battles against her own kind.
We won't include her in the combat force this time.
Lin Ye said, "You don't need to participate in the battle..."
The Crimson Emperor exclaimed excitedly, "Let me go!"
Lin Ye said, "Give me a reason."
"Otherwise, when will you stop being wary of me?" the Crimson Emperor exhaled and said coldly.
Lin Ye's eyes flickered slightly.
The Crimson Emperor showed no resistance whatsoever?
Her favorability rating is stable, and her emotional fluctuations are also very stable—it turns out that once she decides to change, she cuts ties with the past completely!
Got it, it's just being arrogant.
"I don't have any objections, but I think you're a bit reckless." The Crimson Emperor was silent for a moment, then hesitated, "Are you really not taking your master with you?"
"rest assured."
Lin Ye laughed and said, "It's good that you have this attitude, but whether you'll actually be allowed to participate in the war is still uncertain."
The Crimson Emperor retorted unwillingly, "You damned human!"
Fortunately, the Crimson Emperor wasn't that cunning; she didn't know that Lin Ye's "maybe" didn't necessarily mean "definitely not."
In fact, if the Great Demon saw that even the Fallen God had chosen to join Lin Ye and turned his guns on him, it would be a huge shock to the False Great Demon, who was already wavering in his stance.
Wasn't it the Demon of Desire for Learning who turned into a girl?
The Great Demon is a being that can freely change its Yin and Yang attributes.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye thoughtfully pinched his chin.
If the Crimson Emperor sensed something, he exclaimed in surprise, "You're really going to kill the Great Demon... and not to turn it into a star?"
Lin Ye smiled and squinted, "You're overthinking it."
The Crimson Emperor said, "Judging from my own experience, I haven't been overthinking it!"
"Don't worry, this time we'll finish this quickly."
Lin Ye confidently reached out and intertwined her fingers with the Crimson Emperor's. She hesitated for a moment, then quickly and shyly pulled away.
For this operation, Lin Ye needs to adopt the highest output in a short period of time, which requires activating two seemingly unreliable fusion materials.
.......
"Wow~ Senior, can I go too!"
Gu Yuesheng was invited to be the fusion material. She was very excited and skipped around holding Lin Ye's hand. Lin Ye led her to Princess Huang's room and found her sleeping peacefully.
The princess woke up groggily and said, "Brother is here."
For this trip, Lin Ye plans to push his fire damage to its limit.
Zhulong, Phoenix, and Three-Legged Golden Crow—the two fire-type girls from the Lin Ye family possess three top-tier bloodlines... In fact, they only need the Vermilion Bird bloodline to complete the collection of all known top-tier fire-type bloodlines.
Having them participate in the synthesis, or to put it more academically, after the "inscription transformation," Lin Ye's damage becomes incredibly powerful.
Gu Yuesheng peeked out from behind Lin Ye: "Sis, it's time to go out with the senior!"
"Roar."
The princess sat up abruptly, her eyes suddenly sharpening. However, when her gaze met Lin Ye's, it was clear that her cheeks were rapidly turning red.
Gu Yuesheng grinned mischievously from the side: "Ha~ A side effect of the Burning Technique?"
She sat down on the edge of the bed, hugged the princess and swayed her back, then winked at Lin Ye: "Senior, if you're not in a hurry to leave, why don't you help your good sister deal with the side effects first?"
The princess's cheeks flushed, and she said, "I'm fine, don't delay our business!"
Lin Ye waved his hand and said, "This time we're going inside the Blood Mist, so we can't use a teleportation array to get there."
"There's plenty of time on the road..." Lin Ye blinked, and seeing that they were also looking at him with tentative eyes, he laughed and flicked his fingertips. A burst of spiritual energy rolled up the two of them with the bed sheet and they went out the door.
Not far from the door, the real Huangzhou, controlling a spherical projection, followed behind, saying, "That's great, I'm a little envious."
Lin Ye looked around but couldn't find the projection of the Lesser Desolate Curse. He looked at the Greater Desolate Curse and asked, "Hmm? How come it's you?"
The main body, Huang Zhou, said, "Due to computing overload, the clone has temporarily entered a dormant update mode. I shared the optimization method with it."
Lin Ye touched the sphere it was controlling: "Thank you for your hard work."
"Speaking of which, you just said you were envious... could it be that you like me?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.
The Great Wilderness Curse said, "You overestimate me. Judging by human emotions, I should hate you."
Lin Ye said, "Then they still have to obediently work for me, right? Pathetic artificial intelligence..."
"I am not the same as the artificial intelligence in the future concept of weapon crafting, but I am happy to work for you."③
Lin Ye laughed and said, "I know, it's fun being a little mischievous."
Little Wilderness Curse possesses emotions, but this wasn't something she was born with. 5.
Instead, he learned emotions through the Blood Calamity Demon.
Perhaps the original form of the Desolate Curse also has such an opportunity... Lin Ye glanced back at it.
.......
The blood mist would hinder the use of the teleportation array, so Lin Ye needed to find another way to infiltrate.
But this doesn't mean he had to travel by airship the entire way to the Great Demon's underground secret base.
All you need to do is teleport to the safest area closest to your destination, and then sneak in when the opportunity arises.
Imperial capital.
The capital of Demon Emperor Mountain is currently undergoing a major relocation.
Since the new Demon Emperor seems to intend to abandon this region, cultivators are flocking to the palace in waves using various modes of transportation.
After arriving in the capital, Lin Ye met with elite spies in a private room.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Dong Yaoyao, I've heard of you."
Dong Yaoyao, with a serious expression, gave Lin Ye a military salute, looking dashing and heroic.
This strangely normal-looking cultivator from the secret realm is a hero among madmen.
It is relatively clear-headed, capable of executing complex commands, and has even faced the Great Demon without revealing its identity, making it a super elite among spies.
Aside from the fact that she is born without gender characteristics, which is a flaw that can hardly be called a flaw.
In addition, Dong Yaoyao is still a madman.
The cursed creature suspected that the world it saw was full of illusions; in other words, it didn't share the same worldview as others.
Aside from that, he's a perfectly normal super agent.
Although Dong Yaoyao was a valuable research subject, such clear-headed talents were too rare among the cultivators of the mysterious realm, so it was still sent out to do the work. It also participated in the preparations for this operation.
But at this moment, this meritorious elite soldier nervously pressed his hands on his thighs, his face slightly sweaty: "Your Majesty, where is this place...?"
Lin Ye asked, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, where have you taken me in this space?" Dong Yaoyao asked in a trembling voice.
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow.
The illusion before its eyes was shattered, possibly due to the effect of the Emperor's blood.
Could there really be some secret behind its hallucinations?
However, Dong Yaoyao was clearly showing signs of being consumed by her inner demons, so Lin Ye simply offered a few words of explanation and sent her away.
Blood mist is a natural weapon for dividing the battlefield, especially when it has been tampered with, but it also requires a well-timed, stealthy infiltration.
Lin Ye temporarily stayed at an empty sect 200,000 miles outside the capital. The cultivators inside had already moved to the imperial palace, leaving behind an empty city.
While waiting for a message from his inside contact, Lin Ye continued his cultivation.
With Yue'er and the princess around, it's not boring.
The peaceful days lasted for a short while.
[Obtained 90 top-grade spirit stones]
Lin Ye raised an eyebrow and looked at the message that Huang Zhou had specially highlighted in red.
Players are actually starting to send over top-tier spirit stones!
Lin Ye is selling equipment to players through the channels of Huang Zhou.
The quality is slightly higher than others, and the price is slightly lower than others.
With these two factors combined, business is doing very well.
Today, I finally received even the best spirit stones. To let the players know what they need, Lin Ye increased the [Holy Favor] attribute by 1 point.
It rose from -20 to -19...
Once the "Favor of the Gods" attribute is unlocked, it is shared by all players.
The initial design aimed to prevent major divisions among players and ensure that their core members remained firmly attached to their own warships, hence the shared attribute for all members.
Now, it is indeed having a positive effect.
Lin Ye's fondness for top-grade spirit stones would soon spread rapidly on the forum through changes in his divine favor attribute.
Although it's a good thing.
However, Lin Ye couldn't help but think that there was still no news about his childhood sweetheart, Taozi.
Lin Ye thought about changing direction.
Let's find the successor of this demonic art first!
Lin Ye actually had a small idea about how to find a successor to his demonic arts.
With the continuous intake of external resources, the body of the inheritor of demonic arts may undergo fundamental changes.
Historically, when the inheritor of that demonic art began to gradually reveal himself, he was already at the Great Ascension stage, and by then, he had already become a monster.
It turned into a monster similar to a great demon!
Compared to their similarities with ordinary human cultivators, inheritors of demonic arts are indeed closer to creations of the Great Calamity, though they are not particularly close in either direction.
Because of their extremely rapid growth and immense power, inheritors of demonic arts have always been a taboo in the cultivation world.
Much information has been lost with history, but the existence of the successor of the demonic arts is too deeply ingrained in people's minds.
Many ancient forces, like the Demon Emperor Mountain, have carried on the fear of them for generations.
However, among the many rumors about the successor of the demonic arts, one thing caught Lin Ye's attention.
At a certain stage of their cultivation, they will decide which of their yin and yang attributes will be dominant, and at the same time, they will also decide their gender.
After all, it is a creature that embodies both yin and yang!
Those who inherit demonic arts during the period when their gender is determined are very emotional and vulnerable, making them prone to leaking information and even having sexual relations with human cultivators, which has been recorded more than once in history.
This gave Lin Ye a chilling thought.
