Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Upon hearing this, the Iron-Winged Demon General was overjoyed, but his face showed a troubled expression: "Several hundred years is but a fleeting moment for us demon generals. Brother Kun, can't you even wait?"

Chen Yuan said, "Since I am going to participate in the war between the two realms, it will be very inconvenient if I go alone without any demon generals or beasts under my command."

"It would be best to establish the government before the war between the two worlds begins, so that we can make preparations as early as possible."

Ironwing Demon General looked increasingly troubled: "Brother Kun is right, but although the territory under the Thunder Mountain Demon King is vast, he has even more demon generals under his command, all of whom have already been enfeoffed, leaving no vacant land."

"Inside the Thunder Mountain Cave, there are still dozens of low- to mid-level demon generals temporarily entrusting themselves to the task, waiting for the war between the two realms to begin so that they can make contributions and be allocated a piece of territory."

"That depends on how many demon generals die in this war between the two worlds. If the number is not large, we can only wait until the next war between the two worlds, or if a demon general dies unexpectedly, before we will have the opportunity to rule a place."

"Brother Kun's strength is naturally far superior to those demon generals, but there is really no place to divide the spoils right now."

"Let's wait until the war between the two worlds begins and Brother Kun has made great contributions, then it will be natural for him to establish his own residence."

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, and he laughed, "Brother Tie said that as long as a demon general dies unexpectedly, he can be allocated the land?"

Ironwing Demon General was taken aback, then laughed: "I misspoke. It is true that if a demon general who governs a region dies, the region under his jurisdiction becomes unclaimed land, which will naturally be taken back by Thunder Mountain Demon King and given to other demon generals."

Chen Yuan asked eagerly, "I wonder if I, Kun, can become the ruler of this region through this method?"

Iron-Winged Demon General hesitated, "This..."

Upon seeing this, Chen Yuan immediately clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to him, saying, "Brother Tie must have a way to teach me. Please enlighten me!"

Ironwing Demon General sighed, "Very well, I owe Brother Kun a favor. How can I stand idly by when Brother Kun asks for my help?"

He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Kun has not yet established his own residence, and he also wants to serve the Demon King of Leishan. We must not attack his demon generals at will."

"However, the Thunder Mountain Demon King will not forbid me from fighting against other demon generals."

“I can issue a challenge to a mid-level demon general, and Brother Kun can temporarily serve as a guest elder of the Iron Wing Cave to assist me.”

"Once we seize their territory, we will divide the spoils equally, and the territory will belong to Brother Kun. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Having said that, Iron-Winged Demon General stared intently at Chen Yuan, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Chen Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "It's that simple?"

Ironwing Demon General shook his head slightly: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Brother Kun is an outsider demon general. If you want to serve as a guest elder of Ironwing Cave, you must first obtain the permission of Thunder Mountain Demon King before you can participate in the battles between me and other demon generals."

"If it were any other demon general, the Thunder Mountain Demon King might not agree to let him join forces with me to fight two against one, so as not to be unfair."

"But the great war between the two realms is about to begin. Brother Kun is of the bloodline of the Holy Race and has extraordinary strength. If you wish to serve, the Demon King of Thunder Mountain will surely agree."

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yuan clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Iron Wing Demon Commander: "Then I will trouble you, Brother Iron. I am willing to lend you a hand."

Iron-Winged Demon General laughed heartily: "Good! This matter should be done sooner rather than later. In three days, I would like to invite Brother Kun to accompany me to the Thunder Mountain Cave to pay our respects to the Thunder Mountain Demon King. What do you say?"

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I will do as Brother Tie says."

……

Two hours later, Chen Yuan returned to his cave. The Foundation Establishment stage human slave standing beside the stone gate bowed respectfully, then stood silently, without uttering a word, like a stone statue. Chen Yuan glanced at him and sighed inwardly; the soul restriction within this man had been in place for a long time, and even the Vermilion Flame could not erase it.

He took out the array plate, dispelled the array, the stone door opened, he stepped in, and entered the cultivation room, where he sat cross-legged.

After a feast with the Iron-Winged Demon General, Chen Yuan's face was flushed, but with just a slight circulation of his true essence, he refined all the spiritual wine that had accumulated in his body, and his cultivation level increased by a fraction.

Over the months, the spirit wine that Iron Wing Demon General produced became worse and worse. At first, the Wind Spirit Wine had some effect on body tempering, although it was only better than nothing for Chen Yuan.

Even if Chen Yuan drinks most of the spirit wine he has taken out, it will only slightly increase his cultivation level.

Chen Yuan did not start cultivating immediately. He recalled his conversation with the Iron-Winged Demon General earlier that day and carefully considered whether he had revealed any flaws.

After examining the burly man's memories, he devised this plan: to disguise himself as a Kun fish demon general, seek an opportunity to serve the Thunder Mountain Demon King, obtain a territory, and settle down in the Burning Demon Realm.

He didn't know much about the Kunyu clan of the Burning Demon Realm, but the Holy Clan was widely renowned, and even the rough and burly man knew a little about them. They were located on another Burning Wind Continent, which was very far away from this place.

This gave him the opportunity to disguise himself as the Kunyu Demon General, and he successfully fooled the Iron Wing Demon General.

However, the Thunder Mountain Demon King is highly skilled and has participated in many wars between the two realms. He may have seen demon kings and generals of the Kunyu clan before, so we must be careful.

However, according to Ironwing Demon General, the Kunyu clan is so vast, with over a hundred demon kings and thousands of demon generals, that Thunder Mountain Demon King should also be unable to see through Chen Yuan's flaws.

If he asks about the Kun fish clan, just brush him off.

After all, Chen Yuan is now a disillusioned demon general who has offended the demon king of his clan and has even been forced to travel far away. It is understandable that he is unwilling to mention matters concerning his clan.

He refined the true blood of the Kunpeng, which even the purest bloodline of the Kun fish could not compare to; this was the best disguise.

Chen Yuan's original plan was to seek refuge with the Thunder Mountain Demon King and then gradually take control of the territory.

Today, when he asked Ironwing Demon General if he could open his manor soon, it was just a casual inquiry. He didn't expect Ironwing Demon General to seem to have been prepared all along.

It seems that his invitation to visit Ironwing Cave was for ulterior motives...

Chen Yuan sneered inwardly; he and the Iron-Winged Demon General were actually using each other.

He didn't know much about the Burning Demon Realm, so he retreated to advance, and then killed the Crimson Blood Demon General in a grand manner, luring out the Iron Wing Demon Commander. In the ensuing battle, he defeated him, revealing his Kun fish bloodline and extraordinary strength.

After this series of twists and turns, he was able to naturally befriend the Iron-Winged Demon General.

Although this was somewhat hasty and had many flaws, they were all insignificant in the face of Chen Yuan's formidable strength and Kun fish bloodline.

He originally intended to wait a few more months, allowing his image of being frustrated and unsuccessful to become more deeply ingrained in people's minds, before proposing to serve the Demon King of Leishan.

Unexpectedly, the Iron-Winged Demon General eagerly invited him to serve as a guest elder, which made his plan more secure. As long as the Thunder Mountain Demon King agreed, he could successfully establish his residence.

Over the past few months, Ironwing Demon General had mentioned more than once the mid-level demon generals he had grudges against, all of whom were on par with him, and Chen Yuan had captured them with ease.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan felt relieved, slowly closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and began meditating. (End of Chapter)
