Chapter 600: The Flustered Jin Yu
Tianjian Continent, ancestral land of the Jinwu Clan.
Inside the Jinyu Cave Abode.
At this very moment.
Li Cheng was seated cross-legged on a meditation cushion within the cave abode.
His tightly shut eyes slowly opened.
Within his eyes, a flash of Divine Light passed by.
He slightly parted his lips.
A turbid breath was exhaled from his mouth.
"My Cultivation Levels have reached a bottleneck, continuing to meditate in seclusion probably won't allow me to break through the bottleneck, I need to go out and find some opportunities,"
Li Cheng murmured to himself.
After leaving the River of Time, he found what was referred to as 'Vast Void.'
What surprised him was
that he didn't need to go through any Vast Void passage to search for other worlds; the power within the Vast Void was precisely the power from the Cultivation Technique lineage passed down by his Respected Master.
He could cultivate with its help.
Therefore, Li Cheng built a pathway to communicate with the Vast Void, using its power for his Cultivation.
In a short period of time, his Cultivation Levels had reached a very terrifying state.
Li Cheng didn't know which Realm he belonged to.
After all, the system of his Cultivation was different from the one here.
But according to Jin Yu, he possessed a power comparable to Divinity Transformation.
To be honest, when Jin Yu discovered that Li Cheng had gained the power to rival Divinity Transformation in less than a month, it was quite shocking.
Jin Yu once doubted whether Li Cheng was an Innate demon or god.
Only after some confirmation did he reluctantly accept that it was truly due to Li Cheng's talent that he progressed so rapidly.
This talent was not ordinarily good.
It was a rarity in the world.
"I wonder where those people of the Human Race are now, I might as well go take a look at them,"
Li Cheng murmured to himself.
After he had gained cultivation levels, he quickly remembered his memories from before he took shape.
He didn't know where he came from.
But he knew that ever since he gained consciousness, he had been a city that withstood the ravages of wind and rain.
In that city, there had always been members of the Human Race living.
Losing his bearings, the members of the Human Race from the outside world disappeared, leaving only those from his own city.
Afterwards, he was enlightened by his Respected Master.
Since he was going to leave.
He might as well go see those of the Human Race that he knew before.
With this thought in mind.
Li Cheng no longer hesitated, stood up, and walked out of the cave abode.
He stepped out of the cave abode.
Upon looking up, he saw Jin Yu coming towards him.
When the two met.
Li Cheng immediately greeted him, and noticing the urgency on Jin Yu's face, he asked curiously.
Jin Yu didn't hide anything and started to explain.
"A major event has occurred within the Demon Race; if this isn't handled properly, the entire Golden-Winged Dapeng clan could be wiped out,"
Jin Yu took a deep breath and said so.
"A major event? What event?"
Li Cheng frowned slightly.
Could it be that during the time he was in seclusion cultivating, some earth-shattering event occurred?
"You may not know, but the Old Ancestors of all the different races within the Demon Race were dispatched, and after some unknown circumstances, all the Old Ancestors perished, including the Old Ancestor of our very own Golden-Winged Dapeng clan,"
Jin Yu said, shaking his head.
"The Old Ancestors of all races have perished, and even the Old Ancestor of the Golden-Winged Dapeng clan?"
Li Cheng was also taken aback.
He was utterly baffled.
He had been in closed-door cultivation for such a short time, and such a big event had happened?
It took a good while before Li Cheng recovered.
"Even so, that wouldn't be enough to cause the destruction of the entire Golden-Winged Dapeng clan, would it? At most, it's just a severe weakening of their strength, right?"
Li Cheng continued.
Having lost the Old Ancestor.
The Golden-Winged Dapeng clan had indeed suffered a severe blow to its vital essence.
But it couldn't possibly lead to their annihilation, could it?
Moreover, according to what Jin Yu said, the old ancestors of other demon races were also gone, right? If that was the case, then in terms of strength, the Golden-Winged Dapeng clan was still not weak.
Li Cheng couldn't understand.
Upon hearing this,
Jin Yu also understood what Li Cheng was puzzled about.
He took a deep breath and began to recount once more.
"If it were just that, then my Golden-Winged Dapeng clan, relying on our heritage, naturally wouldn't be struggling to get by. However, what is most terrifying is that among the fallen ancestors of the various races, there is one Old Ancestor of the Dragon Clan that survived!"
"One Old Ancestor of the Dragon Clan means that the Dragon Clan's power has surged past that of all the demon races. And between our Golden-Winged Dapeng clan and the Dragon Clan, there are grievances."
"Once the Dragon Clan starts settling scores, our Golden-Winged Dapeng clan will definitely not escape..."
At this thought, Jin Yu couldn't help feeling anxious.
Speaking of which, the grievances of the Golden-Winged Dapeng clan actually all stemmed from that era.
There hadn't been any conflicts since the revival.
But previously, on the Pingyuan Battlefield, he had slain many of the Dragon Clan's proud elites.
That incident could be regarded as the catalyst for the discord between the two clans.
Thereafter, there had always been friction between the two clans.
Now the Dragon Clan's influence had grown strong.
It would be very difficult for their Golden-Winged Dapeng clan to escape.
Of course, what most worried Jin Yu,
was his own safety.
Last time, he had used the aid of a 'senior' to claim the title of the first prodigy of the demon race.
He feared that the Dragon Clan, wary of his potential growth, would come over to nip him in the bud.
"This..."
At these words, Li Cheng also didn't know what to say.
"By the way, Daoist friend, do you know where the senior might be?"
Jin Yu suddenly remembered Chu Yuan's might,
and couldn't help but voice a question.
If they could ask the senior for help, they would surely be able to protect their Golden-Winged Dapeng clan.
"How would I know? My Respected Master didn't tell me when he left,"
Li Cheng shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Jin Yu could only shake his head in disappointment as well.
The two conversed for quite a while longer.
In the end, after Li Cheng obtained the location of where the human race resided from Jin Yu, he left.
Jin Yu then went into his Jinyu Cave Abode and started to study formations, wanting to make his cave abode as impregnable as 'copper walls and iron barriers.'
...
Elsewhere.
Li Cheng left the vicinity of Jinyu Cave Abode.
He arrived at the secluded area beyond a tall mountain.
The humans he was speaking of lived there.
Mostly mortals, they seemed to live quite a carefree life here.
Li Cheng walked down slowly from the firmament, wanting to get a close look at these humans.
He had just begun to descend.
Several cultivators approached him.
"Who goes there! Why approach our Human Race!!"
These cultivators were all from the Foundation Establishment Realm, countable among the few cultivators of the human race.
"You... do you not recognize me?"
Li Cheng spoke softly.
He was curious about these humans who were once inhabitants of his own body.
He wanted to understand this human race.
"You... who are you? Do you know us?"
The cultivators of the human race were also confused.
From the man's tone, it seemed he knew them.
But they didn't recognize this powerful cultivator in front of them.
Yet they could feel a sense of security emanating from this cultivator.
As if standing behind him, they would be absolutely safe...
