My Optimized Immortal Life

As for why only magic power is left as a path of cultivation, Chen Qing is not clear about the specific reason. It seems that the other two will encounter some defects when they are cultivated to a high level, but magic power cultivation will not.

However, these things are too far away from Chen Qing at the moment, and random guesses will not produce any results.

Right now, the most important thing for him is the Jindan level that lies before him.

…………

Wanren City.

Since the city was breached by the beast tide, the formation that originally covered the entire city has dissipated. Many attics and small houses in the outer city were destroyed, but the inner city was well preserved.

In the center of the inner city, on the hill above the spiritual vein, hundreds of monsters with cultivation level of second level and above gathered together, supporting a human figure with wings on his back standing on the top of the hill.

The man had long green hair, a handsome face, and an imposing demeanor. He had a pair of purple wings on his back. He was none other than the Purple-Winged Green-Scaled Peng, the half-step fourth-level monster that had broken through Wanren City.

When a demon beast cultivates to the fourth stage, it can overcome the transformation tribulation and transform into a human form. However, a big demon like the Purple-winged Green-scaled Peng, which can transform into a human form before cultivating to the fourth stage, is extremely rare. Most of them have extremely strong bloodlines and are extremely talented.

Since he had transformed into a human form, he should have a human name, so Purple-winged Green-scaled Peng called himself Zi Yu.

Zi Yu looked at the horizon and suddenly chuckled.

"There really are three great cultivators in the late Jindan stage. They are well-informed about the news of the Demonic Path."

In his spiritual sense, he could sense that there were three extremely obvious auras of Jindan cultivators coming towards him from dozens of miles away. They must be the three late Jindan cultivators that Yan Qingyan had mentioned before.

Although Zi Yu's cultivation had reached the half-step fourth level, far surpassing the three Jindan cultivators, he estimated that he would not be able to gain any advantage if a real fight broke out.

This is the limitation of monsters.

The cultivation of monsters starts from the first stage, with the focus on the physical body. The first stage will undergo two physical transformations before reaching the second stage. After the second stage, the monster's demonic energy is abundant enough, but at most it is used to form armor and strengthen the physical body. If the monster has a special bloodline, there is a chance that the monster can awaken the bloodline magical power, thus having an additional means to fight the enemy. At the third stage, the monster's physical potential continues to be explored and transformed again. At this stage, even monsters that have cultivated from ordinary wild beasts can awaken their bloodline and possess bloodline magical powers.

But these seem insignificant compared to the monks of the same level.

After reaching the fourth stage of cultivation and overcoming the transformation tribulation, the monster beast will possess a human body. At the same time, it can also begin to practice the skills and spells of the cultivators, and even drive magical instruments. Only at this stage will the monster beast and the cultivator stand at the same starting point.

However, Zi Yu's situation was different. Before he reached the fourth level of cultivation, he was already able to transform and even practiced some of the cultivators' skills and spells. It was precisely because of this confidence that when Yan Qingyan came to warn him, he did not take these three Jindan cultivators seriously.

Now these three Jindan cultivators have arrived and are trying to take back Wanren City. Zi Yu has no objection to this.

As a great demon at the half-step fourth level, he was also the dominant force in the Great Wilderness. If the Nascent Soul master of the Demon Sect had not come to him personally, he would not have been interested in getting involved in these things.

Moreover, the agreement he reached with the Demon Sect was only to capture Wanren City, so he was not prepared to fight to the death with these three Jindan cultivators.

However, a fight is still necessary, otherwise he has no reason to withdraw from Wanren City.

During the days he spent in Wanren City, he inquired about information from many sources and felt more and more that the Song State was in deep trouble.

The Yuanying masters of the two demonic sects and the Tianyuan sect seemed to be planning something, and dividing the territory of the Song Kingdom seemed to be only a part of their plan. But what exactly was their plan that could make the Yuanying masters plan like this, which meant that it was not something he could participate in as he had not yet cultivated to the fourth level.

Therefore, he had to find a way to get out of this situation, and now was an excellent opportunity.

It sounds great that a great demon that was half a step away from becoming a fourth-order monster was forced to retreat by three great cultivators in the late Jindan stage and return to the Great Wilderness Marsh.

He smiled, and then immediately ordered the monsters around him to charge towards the direction where the three Jindan cultivators came from.

These monsters were all ordered by him from Wanren Mountain. They were not his subordinates. He did not need to worry about their life or death when using them at this moment. He would use them to test the methods of the three Jindan cultivators first.

After receiving Zi Yu's order, the second-level monsters on the hill immediately took action. Each of them was several feet in size, and they ran with a constant roar, like thunder.

These monsters are all on the hill, and in front of them is the inner city of Wanren City. Although the monsters did not destroy the buildings here under Zi Yu's orders before, now that these monsters have launched a charge, it doesn't matter whether the inner city is destroyed or not.

Hundreds of second-tier demonic beasts swarmed through, each one's body having undergone at least two transformations, making it harder than second-tier spiritual iron. Most of the buildings within Wanren City's inner city were constructed with only first-tier spiritual materials, and without the support of formations, they were instantly crushed to ruins by the surging tide of demonic beasts. Dust billowed, and the earth trembled.

On the other side, Zhongjing, who was flying in the air, suddenly changed his expression. The consciousness of the other two people were spread within a radius of dozens of miles, and they naturally noticed Zhongjing's change at the first time.

True Man Chi Yan asked.

"Senior Broken Sword, have you discovered anything?"

Zhongjing looked grim, turned his head to look at the two of them, and said solemnly.

"Just now, my spiritual sense detected an extremely powerful divine consciousness scanning us, as if to determine our location. It must be the great demon that is half a step to the fourth level."

Upon hearing this, both True Man Chi Yan and True Man Xiu Lin's expressions changed.

The three of them were only in the late Jindan stage of cultivation, and had not practiced any techniques that could enhance their spiritual awareness. Naturally, they were easily detected by Zi Yu, whose cultivation was even higher than theirs.

Upon seeing this, True Man Chi Yan frowned and secretly sent a message.

Upon hearing this, Master Xiulin couldn't help but say.

"Now that the great demon has discovered us, what should we do next?"

Zhongjing shook his head, then looked at True Man Chiyan and asked for his opinion.

True Man Chi Yan had already finished his message, and when he saw Zhong Jing looking at him, he spoke.

"That half-step fourth-level monster is more powerful than us, but it's still within the third-level range. Furthermore, monsters have limited means. Even if it has some special bloodline abilities, as long as we are careful and cautious, it won't pose much of a threat to us. We don't need to worry too much. The only thing we need to be careful of is a possible ambush."

When transmitting the message, True Man Chi Yan had already thought of what to say next, so when he spoke at this time, he did not let the two of them notice that something was wrong before.
