The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 1064: Yun Que Goes to the Demon Clan. Shangguan Yunfei was quite helpless regarding his uncle Tianjizi's request.

He explained, “The path to immortality is long, and with such a long lifespan, I should do something meaningful. I grew up, cultivated, and ascended to immortality at Taichu Temple on the Yuantian Continent. Taichu Temple is like my home.”

Now that I am in the Immortal Realm, I am a Celestial King, capable of building the Primordial Temple, and I have a long lifespan to protect its growth. There is really no need for me to rush to the Divine Realm.

Tianjizi glared at him. “You think you can just go to the God Realm like that? You still need to cultivate to the level of Immortal Venerable, and after that, you need to find an opportunity to ascend. Who knows how long that will take? I will keep an eye on Taichu Temple for you. Just focus on your cultivation and ascend as soon as possible. Then, we can build another Taichu Temple in the God Realm.”

For a moment, Shangguan Yunfei didn't know how to refute him. His martial uncle had always been very confident in him, and he couldn't bear to disappoint him.

Fine, let my uncle be the abbot of Taichu Temple! He'll go and cultivate diligently.

Spirit world.

The territory of the demon race.

The restless Yun Que had no choice but to behave himself at this moment.

Because she was captured by a demon cultivator at the God King realm.

Having experienced the rapid advancement in battle, Yun Que traveled throughout the God Realm, eventually wandering out of the Eastern Heavenly Gate and arriving at the border with the Demon Race to find suitable combat opponents.

After defeating several demon cultivators of similar cultivation levels, a demon cultivator at the God King level happened to pass by, couldn't stand by and watch, and then attacked her.

After discovering that the other party was the true form of the Azure Phoenix, Yun Que did not use his trump card to escape, but was captured by the other party.

She had been a demon king on the Yuan Tian Continent, so of course she knew the characteristics of the demon race.

Demon cultivators are even more combative than human cultivators.

To fight for territory, a fight is inevitable.

They don't fight outsiders; within their own tribe, the distinction between leader and second-in-command is determined by strength. And the strength of a tribe can be verified by a single battle.

Human cultivators prefer to live within a stable social system, while demons rely on force to solve problems.

Therefore, after discovering the Azure Phoenix demon cultivator, Yun Que suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a way to blend into the demon race's life.

She only has many opportunities to fight among the demon race.

The blue phoenix, named Qingye, decided to take this human female cultivator back to be his prisoner after he had taken control of Yun Que.

In the realm of gods, the three races of humans, demons, and monsters each have their own territory.

Although they are not mortal enemies, they will definitely not get along.

However, among the three races, the demon race is the least favored by both humans and monsters.

In contrast, although there are also conflicts between humans and demons, they generally do not fight to the death and always leave room for maneuver.

This is also Yun Que's biggest advantage in daring to take this risky move and allowing himself to be captured and taken away by the other party.

Qingye took Yunque back to the floating island where the bird clan lived.

He threw the immobile Yun Que to the ground, then said to a blue phoenix that flew over, "Sister, I'll catch someone for you to be a prisoner."

The Azure Phoenix swayed and then transformed into a beautiful female cultivator, who then floated down.

She looked at Yun Que, who was lying motionless on the ground, and smiled, "Brother, untie her first, and I'll see what kind of person she is."

With a flick of his sleeve, Qingye released Yunque from his restraints.

Yun Que immediately jumped up and, before the female demon cultivator could speak, shouted, "I am from the Vermilion Bird Clan! Are you trying to slap the Vermilion Bird Clan in the face and make enemies with them by capturing me as a slave?"

These words startled both Qingye and his sister.

Qingye then sneered, "You're from the Vermilion Bird Clan? You're really something, there's not a trace of demonic energy on you."

Yun Que's body is very special. It was originally made from rare and precious materials, and it required phoenix blood to transform into her physical blood. However, since there was no phoenix blood on the Yuan Tian Continent at the time, a drop of essence blood from the demon king Zhu Ling was used as a substitute.

However, the physical body refined in this way will not have any demonic aura, so it is completely different from a half-demon.

Having anticipated this, Yun Que forced out a drop of Vermilion Bird essence blood from his body, showed it to the two of them, and then said, "Half-demon status is not well-received in the Immortal Realm, so I tried to remove the demonic aura from my body. However, after ascending to the God Realm, I wanted to come and see the other half of my clan, the Vermilion Bird Clan, which is why I came to travel in the Demon Clan's territory."

The Azure Phoenix and the Vermilion Bird both belong to the bird family, and the two clans are of equal status. Within the demon clan, where all kinds of demons gather, they have a sense of being closely connected.

Therefore, if Qingye and her brother were to actually make Yun Que, who has the bloodline of the Vermilion Bird Clan, a prisoner, they would truly offend the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Qingye's younger sister, Qingyu, is also good friends with several female demon cultivators from the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Now that Yun Que has revealed his identity, the two siblings are indeed in a bit of a predicament.

Qingyu glanced at Yun Que and said to Qingye, "Brother, why don't we go and ask the Vermilion Bird Clan? If they don't want to acknowledge her, then we can make her a slave."

Qingye hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded in agreement.

So he imprisoned Yun Que again and flew with his sister Qing Yu to the settlement of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

The exquisite wooden houses, hanging on the towering ancient trees, have a unique resemblance to bird nests.

As soon as the two siblings entered the territory of the Vermilion Bird Clan, a young female cultivator dressed in a fiery red gauze robe came to greet them.

"Sister Qingyu, it's been so long since you've come to visit."

Qingyu smiled and said, "I've been a bit busy lately, so as soon as I had a little free time, I came to find you. By the way, my brother has something to discuss with your clan leader."

The female cultivator in red glanced at Qing Ye, greeted him with a smile, and then led them to see the patriarch of the Vermilion Bird Clan.

Soon, the group met the chieftain of the Vermilion Bird Clan inside a huge wooden house.

The patriarch of the Vermilion Bird Clan was a beautiful middle-aged woman with the cultivation level of a God Emperor.

After listening to Qingye's story, her gaze fell on Yun Que.

At this moment, Yun Que's restraints had been lifted, and she was very calm as she bowed to the Vermilion Bird Clan Chief who was scrutinizing her.

"Yun Que greets the clan leader!"

An interested glint appeared in the eyes of the Vermilion Bird Clan Chief.

She said to Qingye, "Thank you for bringing her here, Fellow Daoist Qingye. Zhu Huan, please take the two fellow Daoists to have a cup of tea. I'd like to have a word with this Fellow Daoist Yun."

The female cultivator in red, Zhu Huan, accepted the order and led Qing Ye and his sister out of the large wooden house.

Only the clan leader and Yun Que remained in the room. She then said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, your body was merely refined using rare and precious materials, with a drop of Vermilion Bird essence blood added. Your soul is that of a human cultivator; you can't even be considered a half-demon, can you?"

As a clan leader, she must be a great cultivator from the divine realm. It's not surprising that a great cultivator from the divine realm could see through her true physical condition at a glance.

She calmly said, "I have the essence of the Vermilion Bird Clan within me, which creates an inescapable bond between me and the Vermilion Bird Clan. I am willing to consider myself a half-demon, stay with the Vermilion Bird Clan, and serve them, but I do not need any resources from you. What do you think of this offer?"
