The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"There's even ghostly mist here..."

Chu Xiu pondered.

This place is the ancestral land of all living beings on the Heavenly Continent, yet, like the Heavenly Continent, it is surrounded by the ghostly mist that permeates the four seas...

Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that it was surrounded!

"Human... no, Immortal Master, don't blame me for not warning you..."

The black cat shook its head and said, "The territory of Flower Fruit Mountain has now changed hands, and the area within hundreds of thousands of miles is now the domain of that demon emperor."

Even on the outer borders of the territory, there are a large number of demon soldiers, demon generals, and even demon commanders guarding the area.

"For the immortal to enter the territory of Flower Fruit Mountain is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Is it as difficult as climbing to heaven...?

Chu Xiu smiled slightly. He had already climbed to the heavens long ago!

"I'll only ask you one question: do you know how to enter the territory of Flower Fruit Mountain?"

After hesitating for a long time, the black cat finally spoke up: "My father was also one of the demon generals under that demon emperor. I know that... but it's just too difficult..."

Chu Xiu asked curiously, "Why don't you tell me?"

"The area of ​​Huaguo Mountain, spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, was divided into four layers by the Demon Emperor."

"The outermost layer is where three thousand demon generals and countless demon soldiers are stationed. There is a demon general stationed almost every few thousand miles, and its defense is almost invincible in Sheng Shenzhou."

The second layer is where the vast majority of beings in Sheng Shenzhou who bow down to the Demon Emperor are kept in captivity. The purpose of keeping these beings in captivity seems to be for something called 'spiritual essence', but what exactly it is, my father, who was once a demon general, is not qualified to know.

However, the fact that the Demon Emperor dispatched numerous demon generals to guard the second level demonstrates the importance of that spiritual essence.

"The third level is the territory of the Ten Demon Kings, and the fourth level is the native land of Flower Fruit Mountain, where the Demon Emperor resides."

"To enter the fourth level is actually quite simple; one only needs to pledge allegiance to the Demon Emperor and become a demon soldier. But unfortunately, Immortal Master, you are a human..."

"Humans are not well-regarded in today's world."

"The fourth level is separated from the third level by only a high wall. As a demon general, one can freely enter and exit, but to go to the second level, one needs the demon commander's order,"

"As for how to get to the final level, I have no idea..."

After listening to the black cat's account, Chu Xiu pondered for a moment.

If I were to rashly and violently intrude into that demon emperor's territory, facing so many enemies, I would only suffer losses.

Since he possessed a considerable amount of so-called demon bloodline, he was also able to cultivate using demon techniques.

Why not disguise yourself as a demon, blend in with them, and then find an opportunity to delve deeper into the Flower Fruit Mountain territory to investigate?

"Now that the decision has been made, the most important thing is to find a way to conceal the unique human scent on our bodies, so as not to give ourselves away at the crucial moment..."

Chu Xiu frowned slightly. Even with his concealment technique, he could only hide his aura from being exposed, and he couldn't fool the deliberate probing of a demon general-level being.

Do I have to disguise myself as a monkey or ape to blend in with the demons?

The cat demon leading the flight, seeing Chu Xiu's silent demeanor, suddenly seemed to realize something and couldn't help but ask:

"Immortal Master...you wouldn't be thinking of disguising yourself as a demon and infiltrating among them, would you?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "You're quite clever."

The black cat rolled its eyes: "How is that possible!"

“If you didn’t try to conceal it, even I could smell your human scent from miles away. How could you possibly have succeeded in disguising yourself!”

"Once the truth is revealed, they will die without a burial place!"

Chu Xiu asked, "What do you think is the source of the so-called human aura I possess?"

The black cat thought for a moment and said, "I think... it should be qi and blood!"

Qi and blood...

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment. After his blood essence was fused with the blood essence of the ancient god, it was no longer pure human blood.

Perhaps it was because of the ancient god's essence and blood that he possessed a trace of demon blood of unknown origin, which qualified him to use demonic mystic arts.

The Butterfly Queen must have known this, which is why she bestowed upon him the mysterious demonic arts that only elite demons were qualified to study and perform.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiu closed his eyes and focused his mind.

After receiving the inheritance of the ancient god and absorbing its essence, he has been suppressing the power of the ancient god's bloodline by using the imperial aura within his body.

The world's covetousness for the ancient gods' inheritance was so terrifying that even he dared not take such a risk.

But now that we're in a secret realm, there's no need to worry about that anymore.

Now, let's unleash the power of the ancient god's bloodline completely and study what wonderful uses this ancient god's power has that makes cultivators of the Heavenly Continent so eager to possess it.

Chu Xiu took a deep breath and withdrew the imperial aura that had gathered in his heart.

Before long, the ancient god's essence and blood that had been suppressed here began to flow with the blood, spreading throughout Chu Xiu's entire body.

A strange aura immediately spread from Chu Xiu's body.

The black cat flying not far in front of Chu Xiu suddenly bristled and looked at Chu Xiu with a look of fear on its face.

"Immortal Master?!"

"How come you have the same aura as that Demon Emperor!"

A demon emperor's aura?

Chu Xiu was taken aback. Could it be that the Demon Emperor also possessed the bloodline of an ancient god?

He flashed and appeared in front of the black cat.

"Are you sure that the aura I possess is the same as the Demon Emperor's?"

"Absolutely certain!"

The black cat raised its head, swallowed, shrank its neck, and looked at Chu Xiu with eyes that seemed to have seen a ghost.

"That demon emperor left Flower Fruit Mountain a thousand years ago to personally capture a rogue demon general. I happened to be hunting within the range of their battle when he fought that demon general,"

"If I hadn't run fast, I probably would have been killed by the blast of their battle!"

"Even after a thousand years, I can never forget the aura emanating from that demon emperor!"

"It's exactly the same as what you, Immortal Master, possess now! If there's any difference... it's the difference in the density of the aura..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu nodded solemnly and completely concealed his aura.

Since his aura is similar to that of the Demon Emperor, he might be able to use this to better infiltrate the demon camp.

"To be honest... Immortal Master..." the cat demon said timidly.

"If you hadn't been a human when I met you, I would now suspect that you are the offspring of that demon emperor..."

Chu Xiu shook his head helplessly: "Offspring? How could that be..."

However, it is highly likely that they possess the same ancient god bloodline...

"You don't need to worry. Take me to the outer edge of the fourth level, and you will be free again."

The black cat seemed to exert a great deal of effort to calm its shaken and fragile heart. It nodded vigorously and increased its speed, as if it wanted to leave Chu Xiu's side as soon as possible.

Chu Xiu smiled helplessly and then sped up.

This kitten is quite adorable.

It is truly remarkable that one can maintain a righteous heart in the current state of affairs in Sheng Shenzhou.

"Once we reach our destination, we might as well give it the scroll we obtained from Yinglong, as a way of repaying it for guiding us and rewarding it for maintaining its true nature..."
