The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Xiao Han, who was imprisoned, wanted to curse the unfairness of God.

Why did she finally pick up some treasures for free, but instead encountered an opponent at the level of Immortal King?

She said bitterly, "The bird's egg is here with me, but I only picked it up. I didn't steal it."

She was really afraid that this man, who was probably also a demon king, would mistakenly think that she had stolen his eggs and then crush her to death.

Fortunately, Zhu Ling immediately said, "I know, it's none of your business."

She then looked at the man beside her and said, "Let them go."

The male demon king probably also felt that the two low-level cultivators would not dare to perform tricks in front of him, so he immediately released the restraints on them.

Croton was very tactful and fell into the grass below and did not move. It knew its limits and knew that flattery depended on the circumstances.

Xiao Han took out the Vermillion Bird egg from the spirit beast bag and lifted it in front of Zhu Ling with his spiritual power.

Zhu Ling looked at the intact bird eggs and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She held up the bird egg and said with a hint of sadness and resentment, "Check to see if it's your bloodline."

The man took the egg and saw the spiritual energy wrapped around the eggshell. A hint of joy finally appeared in his tone. "It has a strong ancestral bloodline. Even if it's not my bloodline, it will be the future pride of my Suzaku clan. Don't worry, it will get the best care."

Having said that, he still flicked his finger, and a drop of golden-red blood appeared in the air and then dripped onto the bird egg.

Then, the drop of blood slowly seeped into the eggshell until it completely disappeared.

The man smiled even more, and his eyes softened as he looked at Zhu Ling. "It is indeed my child."

But when he turned to look at Xiao Han and Xu Jing, his eyes became cold again.

Zhu Ling hurriedly said, "The cultivators before were not them. The ones below are my old friends from the lower realm. I'm going to go and catch up with them. Please wait for me for a while."

The man said, "For your sake, I'll let them go today. I'll wait for you at the top of the mountain ahead."

His figure flashed and then disappeared.

Xiao Han and Xu Jing both breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had returned from the gates of hell.

Xiao Han hurried forward, "Demon King."

Zhu Ling waved his hand and said, "You can either call me Fellow Daoist Zhu or call me by my name. Please don't call me Demon King anymore. I am just a small demon cultivator in the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Badou flew over and said sincerely, "You will always be the demon king in Badou's heart."

Zhu Ling looked at it and sighed: "You have met a good master."

Who would have thought that this myna bird, with its low bloodline and unknown in the bird world, could now ascend to the fairyland and cultivate to the seventh level of the human fairyland.

Croton nodded his head vigorously, "Yes, yes, my master is very good to me."

Xiao Han took Zhu Ling into the magic room to chat and reminisce. When they entered, he said to Xu Jing, who was still wiping his sweat, "There's nothing to do now. You can leave now."

She almost lost her life today because of this guy, so she should get rid of him quickly.

Xu Jing quickly said, "I'll just sit outside for a while and leave at dawn."

The demon king was still nearby, so he didn't dare run around.

Xiao Han ignored him and went into the magic weapon house with Zhu Ling.

Although the relationship between humans and demons in the fairy world is not good, they have a special bond of affection with each other, so it is natural for old acquaintances to reminisce about the past together at this moment.

Zhu Ling asked about the situation of the demon clan after she ascended to heaven.

Xiao Han told the truth and talked about how Yunque was appointed as the new demon king, and later she and three other Mahayana monks entered the outer void and accidentally entered the fairyland, and how the other three Mahayana monks all ascended to heaven.

Zhu Ling sighed, "The human and demon races in Yuantian Continent live in harmony. The human cultivators in the Mahayana realm are all great cultivators with vision and responsibility. Even if the demon race does not have any Mahayana cultivators, their lives will not be too difficult."

Sometimes when she thinks back to her life in the lower world and then thinks about her days in the fairy world, she feels a little dazed. Is ascending to heaven really a good thing?

Is it better to be a demon above demons, a human above humans, and live a life where you can see the end of your life, or is it better to live in the immortal world where you have a longer life but are trampled underfoot?

Xiao Han asked about Zhu Ling's recent situation after his ascension.

After hearing Zhu Ling's story, Xiao Han learned about the difficult life of this former demon king after he ascended to the fairyland.

The demon race is a race that values ​​the strong over the weak even more than humans. The ascended demon king Zhu Ling is merely a demon cultivator at the Earthly Immortal Realm, belonging to the lower ranks of the demon race.

There was no blessed land with rich spiritual energy, no abundant resources for cultivation, and it was already difficult for the demon race to advance. Therefore, even though Zhu Ling ascended early, his cultivation level did not improve at all.

A hundred years ago, she met the man who was not yet the Demon King, but was from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fairyland.

Because he was also a Vermillion Bird, and the first high-ranking male cultivator of the same race that Zhu Ling had met, she fell in love with him and committed herself to him, having a one-night stand.

But the man didn't take her seriously at all. He soon left her and continued traveling.

Unfortunately, not long after, Zhu Ling was spotted by a demon cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm and was forced to become his concubine.

Later, Zhu Ling found out that she was pregnant.

This pregnancy took a full hundred years, and Zhu Ling knew that the child in her belly must be extraordinary.

Generally speaking, the nobler the fetus's bloodline, the longer the gestation period.

But the demon cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm was born from a demon beast, one of the beast and the other of the bird. However, since they were both transformed demon cultivators, their children could only have human bodies.

It is impossible to nurture a child with a human body for dozens or even hundreds of years.

It's like the child of a human cultivator and a demon cultivator is human, but because it has half demon blood, it will have a hint of demonic aura and be half-demon. The gestation time of such a child will be the same as that of a human child.

Because Zhu Ling's pregnancy took too long and she couldn't give birth, the Golden Immortal demon cultivator knew there was something wrong with the child. But he still held on to a glimmer of hope and kept Zhu Ling by his side.

Zhu Ling had once had a romantic affair with a man from the same Suzaku clan, and guessed that the child must be of Suzaku clan bloodline.

When she felt that she was about to give birth, she secretly ran to this special area, Qixing Mountain, hoping to give birth to the child there.

But just when she was giving birth, the demon cultivator from the Golden Immortal Realm came and saw that she had given birth to a Vermillion Bird egg, which did not have a trace of his own bloodline at all. He was furious and wanted to destroy the egg.

Just at this moment, a person from the Golden Immortal Realm who was looking for treasure came over.

The demon cultivator and the human cultivator started fighting, and Zhu Ling took the opportunity to bury the egg underground, preparing to find another opportunity to take it away later.

You must know that the space of a demon cultivator cannot contain living things, and eggs are also living things.

The male demon cultivator in the Golden Immortal Realm and the human cultivator were evenly matched, and neither could do anything to the other.

In the end, the male demon cultivator picked up Zhu Ling and ran back to the demon clan’s territory.

It was also a coincidence that after they returned, they happened to meet the man from the Suzaku clan who had advanced to the realm of Immortal King and became the demon king of the bird clan.

Zhu Ling hurriedly asked him for help and told him that she was pregnant with his child, and it was a Vermillion Bird egg with ancestral bloodline.

So the man took her back to Qixing Mountain to look for the bird egg, which led to the previous scene.
