Chapter 35

The murderous intent in these words was palpable.

This was his opportunity, but wasn't it also an opportunity for the other party? Killing him and extracting the flame could also allow the other party to advance further.

Opportunity and crisis are two sides of the same coin.

Overcoming it is an opportunity; failing to overcome it is a crisis.

Internally, he was solemn. The Mythical World was indeed not as peaceful as described in the records, with danger lurking everywhere. This encounter made Yang Qifeng realize he had changed, no, he had grown.

To survive in such a world, one must be cautious, and even more cautious.

Revenge, with his current strength, was far out of reach. That was something to consider only after achieving the Dao of Immortality. For now, he needed to heal his injuries, find a place to settle down, and cultivate meticulously, refining his magical power to the 9,999th year, and form a first-grade demon pearl.

Yang Qifeng had already guessed who his enemy was. The territory of Flame Mountain, plus the innate treasure fan the other party held at the time, if this was not enough to describe it, the other party later revealed their cave, the Banana Cave of Cuiyun Mountain. If Yang Qifeng still didn't know, he might as well be dead.

His enemy was Princess Iron Fan and the Bull Demon King's family.

To achieve the Dao, he had to kill Princess Iron Fan's son, Red Boy. The enmity of killing a son was irreconcilable, and Yang Qifeng had no intention of reconciling.

Princess Iron Fan and the Bull Demon King, both were formidable. Princess Iron Fan, a Celestial Immortal, was already incredibly powerful, while the Bull Demon King was even more terrifying. Successfully outmaneuvering the Monkey King, the Bull Demon King had successfully attained the position of Great Sage, which allowed him to advance to the rank of Golden Immortal, barely qualifying as a great adept.

Such strength did not discourage Yang Qifeng; instead, it ignited his fighting spirit.

Yang Qifeng remembered the saying: pressure brings motivation. Without such a formidable enemy, how could he progress rapidly?

"I plan to find a place to settle in this mountain, establish a cave, and heal and cultivate. Do you, Demon God, have any good suggestions?" Yang Qifeng asked.

The Mythical World was very unfamiliar to Yang Qifeng. Even based on the Journey to the West, he only knew a few places, such as Huaguo Mountain, Chechi Kingdom, and Wujiguo...

Yang Qifeng knew these places, but he had no idea how to get there. Compared to going elsewhere, he preferred the mountain range he was currently in. The scenery was beautiful, and the innate spiritual energy was abundant and dense, making it a good place.

Leaving this mountain range, Yang Qifeng was confident he could find a place comparable to this, but those places were either celestial realms or blessed lands, all of which were already occupied.

"The idea of establishing a cave is out of the question. Establishing a cave is not that easy. Not to mention you lack the resources to set up arrays, but opening a cave is a major event that shakes the surrounding area. As an outsider, the local demons would never allow you to seize their territory," the Cyan Blue Demon God said with a cold laugh.

"No, Demon God, you misunderstood. I don't plan to open a cave. I just want to establish a residence and make some simple arrangements," Yang Qifeng explained.

Opening a cave was not a simple matter.

What is a cave? It is one's lair, a safe haven. Whether it's a deity, demon, or monster, who doesn't fortify their lair with killing arrays, illusion arrays, and other defenses?

External arrays for protection, internal arrays for defense, and treasures for suppression—only with all three can it be considered a cave.

"Every family has its own troubles. Exclusivity exists in every world, and the Mythical World is no exception," Yang Qifeng sighed inwardly after hearing the Cyan Blue Demon God's explanation.

He sighed, and his mind began to work. Soon, he thought of a method. Although his Thirty-Six Transformations were still at the first level, his foundation was solid, and he had consumed many immortal pills. In terms of true strength, he had far surpassed the first level. Without mentioning his physical strength, his transformation skills, at his level, could even perform a substitution.

He could find a demon in the mountain, take it over, and transform into its appearance, allowing him to move freely in the mountain.

"I've thought of a way to blend into the mountain," the Cyan Blue Demon God said in a calm tone.

"The substitution method," Yang Qifeng said, sharing his thoughts.

"Good, this method is very suitable," the Cyan Blue Demon God praised.

Spreading his wings, Yang Qifeng emitted a faint red light. His nine-zhang body began to shrink drastically, eventually becoming the size of a mosquito. Next, he needed to investigate the mountain, and a nine-zhang body was too large and inconvenient.

Using the substitution method was not that simple. The demon he sought must be reclusive and have few friends.

Otherwise, if he chose a demon with many friends, even if Yang Qifeng's transformation was perfect, it would be detected, and they would realize he was an impostor.

Healing and cultivating were his priorities, so the demon he sought must be reclusive and not of too low a rank, not a mere soldier.

Soldiers were constantly summoned by their superiors and assigned tasks, leaving no time for Yang Qifeng to cultivate.

Therefore, Yang Qifeng decided to find a demon general.

The hierarchy of demons was simple: from the strongest Demon God, Demon Sage, Demon King, Demon Commander, to Demon General.

It was clear, of course, not the current demon classification but the ancient titles. However, the corresponding strength had decreased by more than one level.

In ancient times, a Demon General had to be at least an Immortal, but now, even a Demon Commander was not an Immortal.

This information was not well-known to the Cyan Blue Demon God; Yang Qifeng had obtained it from the Monkey King.

A Demon General was not a specific rank but a general term, spanning from the demon pearl stage to the spirit soul stage, three major realms. Yang Qifeng sought a Demon General at the demon pearl stage, which would be easier to conceal.

With wings spread, he flew effortlessly, not transforming into a rainbow. After wandering in the mountain for some time, he encountered many demons. He did not provoke the strong ones but captured a few weak ones and forced them to reveal information. Just as Yang Qifeng locked onto his target and was about to implement the substitution, the Cyan Blue Demon God's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Wait, something is off here."

Thank you to the friends who supported me, Nantian and Shuangzhi. I am deeply grateful.
