Chapter 216: Chapter 210: Master Jade Blade

“Speaking of which, now I should be able to buff my Evil Wind Resistance, but I wonder how things are outside?”

Wang Wu pondered that now Lu Wuchen’s siege of Centipede Ridge had entered the eighteenth year, and the entire Centipede Ridge had almost been turned over. Old Deng should already have the realization of failure, but as a first-grade Celestial Realm Great Cultivator of the Human Race, his means are definitely more than this.

“If I were him, not from the perspective of individual strength, but purely from a strategic angle, this grand operation not only gave the Great Snow Mountain Battlefield a chance to recuperate but also could make him lose face in the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance. He is the strongest, but among the Human Race, things are done methodically. There could be elders or the like, who might take advantage of the situation.”

“So, to stabilize the rear and to regain face and his own authority, Lu Wuchen might seek external aid…”

“So, can the Great Snow Mountain withstand one Celestial Realm Great Cultivator, but what about two?”

“If Lu Wuchen is really pushed to desperation, the Great Snow Mountain could fall within ten years.”

“Furthermore, Lu Wuchen might implement a policy of appeasement towards the Centipede Ridge area, meaning he wouldn’t slaughter the Demon Race but would require all Demons to register their identities, becoming nominally part of the Human Race, or Alien Race, thereby turning Centipede Ridge into a factory for the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance, and a foothold for attacking and plundering the Black Forest.”

“If I were Lu Wuchen, I would focus on controlling all Demons related to me one aspect, while not making a big show of hunting me down. Because he knows, no matter how much he hunts, it’s meaningless, so why not accelerate the extinction of the West Wilderness Demon Race. No, no, if I were him, I would only retain the West Wilderness Demon Race, leverage the free banner of the Spirit Beast, let Demons take pride in becoming an appendage of the Human Race, and form a Demon Race foreign legion, using the Demon Race legion as a vanguard to frenetically attack the Black Forest.”

“Obtain more resources to cultivate a new generation of Celestial Realm Great Cultivators, or he can go even further, wouldn’t that be enticing?”

“Even if I eventually break through to the first grade, can I still challenge everything under the frenetic attacks of countless Human Race Cultivators and Demon Race foreign legions?”

“So, according to the worst-case scenario, even if I leave this place, I can’t go to Heavenly Dao Mountain.”

“Because after taking down the Great Snow Mountain and dealing with Centipede Ridge, the two big aces, one being a big stick proving I have the power to crush you, the other being appeasement proving I won’t wipe out the West Wilderness Demon Race, then, would the Mad Tiger King of Heavenly Dao Mountain surrender?”

“The West Wilderness Demon Race, it’s truly over!”

Wang Wu once again made a pessimistic prediction.

The Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance, in a few hundred years, might become a Ten Cities Alliance.

If Lu Wuchen really has such great ambition, to form a Demon Race foreign legion, acknowledge the identity of the Ancient Blood Demon Race, and guarantee them a certain social status, then it would indeed be a slaughter on all fronts.

The Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance might continue to grow and become one of the top powers in the Human Race Cultivation Realm.

“Forget it, it’s better to develop cautiously and leave this place directly for the Human Race heartland once I do.”

Wang Wu sighed. Now with the Sixth Grade Ruyi Demon Pill, not only can he enlarge and shrink, but his overall transformation progress has made great strides. With his Passive Concealment, going into the Human Race territory to study and lie low would be even easier.

But for now, he needs to decide what to inscribe on the two Ruyi Demon Pills?

“Certainly not Passive Concealment. The bonuses from the three Acupoint Opening Demon Pills are enough, even though it will take a long time to reach the fourth stage of life, I can unlock the talent limits through the Bloodline Evolution Level. In the future, reaching Level 25 Passive Concealment will be easy.”

“Danger Perception, Self-Healing, and Spirit Essence also fall into this category, including Fury and Heart of the Earth. These can all be unlocked through Bloodline Evolution Level; as long as there’s normal progression, they can be used.”

“As for the basic five attributes, they’re even less needed now that I’ve survived the hazardous, weak early stage and entered the middle stage. Each upgrade through the Cultivating Demon Pill provides substantial points, so I don’t need to be as frugal as before.”

“So, what about inscribing Bloodline Secret Techniques? Copper Head Iron Bone, Qi Gathering and Transformation, Thunderous and Swift, Eternal Life, and Turn the Tide, five basic secret techniques synchronizing activate as Unbreakable Golden Body, seems unsuitable. With only two Ruyi Demon Pills, I can only inscribe two.”

“So what’s left is just Demon Technique.”

“The Acupoint Opening Demon Pill doesn’t come with Demon Technique, or low-tier Demon Techniques can be learned through other means. I currently have Deep Freeze, and the Ruyi Body Technique and Demonic Wind Escape Technique.”

“As for the Acquired Ice and Fire Spirit Root, it cannot be inscribed.”

“Looks like I can only inscribe these two for now.”

Wang Wu, afraid of making any more mistakes, analyzed the attribute bar for a long time before finally making his decision.

At this moment, with a stir of thought, the fourth Ruyi Demon Pill rapidly spun and completed the inscription in an instant.

At this moment, he felt like he gained something, and a message silently appeared.

“You successfully inscribed the Ruyi Body Technique on the Sixth Grade Ruyi Demon Pill. Your Ruyi Body Technique level passively +1, and for each level-up of your Ruyi Demon Pill, you’ll receive a 0.5 level passive boost. If you actively activate this Settling Demon Pill, you will receive an additional 2-level boost of Ruyi Body Technique. This added boost will not change due to Ruyi Demon Pill’s advancement.”

Well, no wonder it’s a Ruyi Demon Pill; it directly enhanced Wang Wu’s Ruyi Body Technique to a 1+1+2 level.

Next, he continued to inscribe the second Demon Technique, Demonic Wind Escape Technique, which is essential for flying and escaping.

Upon successful inscription, the effect was the same, the level became 1+1+2.

In this, the six-year long secluded training finally came to perfect completion.

But Wang Wu still did not want to leave this place. This kind of life where he does nothing and enjoys everything every day, was incredibly satisfying.

He’s not in a hurry to cultivate the Demon Pill next, but he can put the refining of his Lifebound Demon Soldiers on the agenda, and also the Ice and Fire Spirit Root, which has been delayed for so long, needs to be accelerated and intensified.

The enemy is very strong, so how dare he slack off?

Next, Wang Wu leisurely continues his closed-door cultivation. First, he successfully refines his right forepaw into a Celestial Ninth Grade Lifebound Demon Soldier, accumulating 1000 points of Essence of Gold Qi. Then, he plans to enhance the refining progress of his left forepaw.

With one claw, he can deal 3000 points of damage.

However, one day, while Wang Wu was engrossed in his cultivation, he suddenly heard someone speaking.

What the hell? He almost thought he was hallucinating.

At the moment, he didn’t dare to be negligent, immediately activating a Concealing Demon Pill, enhancing his Passive Concealment, and then took out soil from his Storage Pouch, covering up his hiding place.

At the same time, he casually cast a Spiritual Energy Light Membrane over his body, just in case.

Soon, the voice appeared from far away, but it sounded like an echo, reverberating wave after wave.

Who is this person?

The unease in Wang Wu’s heart suddenly skyrocketed, so without a word, he activated another Concealing Demon Pill, took off the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, dissipated the Spiritual Energy Light Membrane, and relied solely on his real abilities for concealment.

At this moment, his Passive Concealment Level had astonishingly reached Level 21.4.

Immediately, that echo-like, overwhelming sound finally reverberated throughout the giant beehive.

“Lu Wuchen, leader of the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance, requests to meet Master Jade Blade!”

The arrival is actually Lu Wuchen, good heavens, what a joke, they precisely hunted him down here!

Wang Wu was really frightened, could this Lu Wuchen possess reach-the-sky powers and ghostly abilities?

“I thought it was someone else, turns out it’s you, speak quickly if you have something to say, get on with it! We, the Jade Bee Race, have no desire to interfere in the petty disputes between your Human Race and the West Desolate Demon Race, but if you, Lu Wuchen, wish to make a move against us, then we shall have a proper fight on our hands!”

A clear female voice rang out, giving no face at all.

“Haha, Master Jade Blade, calm down, this old man comes here with no ill intentions, there is no intention from my race to encroach on the West Sea occupied by the Jade Bee Race, today I come seeking your help, we have a wanted criminal named Xiong Wu, who most likely fled into the Western Wilderness Desert years ago, and most likely is lurking along the West Sea coast, so I hope Master Jade Blade can lend a hand in finding this person, here is a small gift prepared by this old man, please accept it with a smile.”

“Furthermore, if Master Jade Blade can locate this Xiong Wu, then this old man is willing to promise to jointly divide the Black Forest with the Jade Bee Race and kill Grandpa Tree! How about it?”

After Lu Wuchen finished speaking, Master Jade Blade remained silent for a long time before saying, “The Xiong Wu you’re talking about, is he a direct descendant of the Bear Demon Emperor?”

“Precisely, this person has already received the bloodline inheritance of the Bear Demon Emperor, his Invisibility Technique is unrivaled in the world, despite my fifteen hundred years of cultivation, I couldn’t find him, luckily, with careful planning, I finally cornered him into the Western Wilderness Desert, now, only Master Jade Blade can find him, after all, the Jade Bee Race and the Ancient Bear Race are eternal foes, only you can break the Bear Demon Emperor’s Invisibility Technique.”

Although Lu Wuchen spoke easily, Wang Wu was scared to death in secret.

This Old Deng is too cunning, to have even figured out that I escaped to the Western Wilderness Desert.

Furthermore, the Jade Bee Race is the mortal enemy of the Bear Race, oh damn, my life is over, that Master Jade Blade might also be a First-Grade Great Demon.

For a moment, Wang Wu trembled, almost believing he was doomed.

At this moment, Master Jade Blade spoke again.

“I’ll first accept the gift, but you need to give me three days for a response, because your speculation may not be true, if that Xiong Wu really escaped into the desert, how could there be no traces all these years?”

“No worries, this old man only has a rough guess, please take the trouble, Master Jade Blade, this old man will be awaiting good news here.”

As they spoke, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted within the giant beehive, almost all worker bees swarmed out, two to three million of them, rushing out of the hive, starting a full-scale search for Wang Wu.

At the same time, Wang Wu suddenly felt a lethal, suffocating, and desperate feeling sweep over him, but it quickly vanished without a trace.

Immediately afterward, several lines of information floated up like a ghost, scaring him into a cold sweat.

“The clan leader of the Jade Bee Race, Master Jade Blade, a First-Grade Great Demon, is using the Bloodline Tracing Divine Techniques, since they possess a bone of the Bear Demon Emperor from years ago and you are within five thousand miles of their location, theoretically, your chance of being discovered has skyrocketed to 100%!”

“But because you have not successfully repaired the Inheritance Soul Jade, your chance of being discovered is reduced by 20%!”

“Because your Passive Concealment Level exceeds the Bear Demon Emperor’s Level 20, your chance of being discovered is reduced by 40%!”

“Because you’ve absorbed too much Jade Bee Honey over the past six years and haven’t consumed any other type of food, your chance of being discovered is reduced by 40%!”

“You successfully escaped the Bloodline Tracing Divine Techniques of Master Jade Blade.”
