"We have fully restored our powers, yet recently we haven't noticed any signs of massive energy gathering. This means that Jinshi Yi may not have fully recovered yet."
After Yuan Qian Kun emerged from his seclusion, Shi Qingyuan immediately brought up this topic. Indeed, with Danqi as their backing, the six of them had significantly accelerated their cultivation recovery. If Jinshi Yi wanted to recover quickly, he would inevitably draw in a large amount of energy, and such movements would not go unnoticed by the six.
Fang Lin Kong had already searched extensively using the Heaven and Earth Wisdom Book. However, Jinshi Yi was intentionally hiding his energy; unless he could scour the entire Solar System, it would be difficult to find him anytime soon.
Yuan Qian Kun said calmly, "We are currently in orbit around Mercury, which allows us to control the path leading to Jinshi Yi's Star. If we search for him and fail to keep an eye on him, allowing him to slip within a billion kilometers of the Sun, then within an hour, Jinshi Yi could fully recover."
Shi Qingyuan frowned in distress. If they waited for Jinshi Yi to regain his strength before confronting him, it would undoubtedly lead to a tough battle. At that moment, Fang Lin Kong suddenly spoke up: "If Jinshi Yi has not yet regained his powers, I have an idea. How about I go with Senior Yuan Qian Kun to search for him? If we encounter any resistance from him, I can activate the Silver Core Tree. At least I can hold out while fighting until you all come to our aid. With the Three Masters and Mr. Shi guarding Mercury, it should be difficult for Jinshi Yi to break through."
Shi Qingyuan considered this briefly and found the plan feasible. Yuan Qian Kun let out a long howl; due to the mixed energy shockwaves, he could speak freely in the vacuum of space. This howl carried a faint pressure as he said, "Fang Lin Kong's plan is viable. Instead of waiting for the enemy, we should take the initiative."
The Azure Sky Ancestor spoke in a low voice: "In that case, Fang Lin Kong, be extra careful. We Master Uncles don't have much to teach you at this moment; we just hope you won't be careless."
Fang Lin Kong's suggestion was not born from a desire for battle but rather from recognizing that Jinshi Yi was clearly his formidable foe. For the sake of his own life, it was better to take a risk than to passively wait for a decisive battle. With gritted teeth, he made the suggestion and upon seeing Yuan Qian Kun's agreement, he turned to the Kunlun Three Immortals and said, "Three Masters, I'm heading out first. Please be cautious as well." He left Mercury with Yuan Qian Kun and pondered briefly before saying, "The last time I encountered Jinshi Yi on Earth, I believe he is still there. I suggest we focus our search on the Atlantic region."
Yuan Qian Kun nodded and asked, "You're right about that. Let me ask you something: what is your relationship with the Euxu Divine Clan? Where did these War Beasts come from?"
Fang Lin Kong felt an inexplicable fondness for this top figure from Earth. Perhaps it was due to having read too many tales of Journey to the West; Chinese people generally held a certain admiration for monkey-like demons. Thus, he answered honestly: "I found these on Gouli Continent; they were gifted to me by a senior Demon General!"
Yuan Qian Kun carefully inquired further and suddenly felt great regret, thinking to himself: "If I had known earlier that the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon from Gouli Continent was a War Beast of the Euxu Divine Clan, I would have acted sooner and wouldn't have to fear that Jinshi Yi from the Zhen Dan Divine Clan now."
Although Yuan Qian Kun thought this way, he knew that even if he tried to seize control now, the War Beasts that had merged with Fang Lin Kong and Yuan Shen would no longer be under his command. Moreover, Fang Lin Kong's strength had risen significantly, and Yuan Qian Kun did not want to lose a valuable ally. He harbored a deep-seated hatred for the Zhen Dan Divine Clan and did not want to give Jinshi Yi an opportunity due to a moment of greed.
The two quickly teleported back to Earth, landing in North America. Fang Lin Kong was startled to see a ten-winged monster soaring into the sky. Just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by Yuan Qian Kun. "This creature has a strange aura; it seems to be an old friend of mine," Yuan Qian Kun said. Fang Lin Kong was astonished and asked, "Senior, your old friend seems quite exaggerated. This level of power is likely even stronger than Camberto. How come I've never heard of it?" Yuan Qian Kun smiled slightly and replied, "I find this puzzling as well. Let me ask him first."
After Zhou Qingzhe transformed, the demonic energy within him surged uncontrollably, causing him to lose his balance and drift into outer space. It was only when he was blown by a plasma stream that he regained some clarity. Although he had become so grotesque, Zhou Qingzhe felt secretly pleased; his power likely surpassed that of Kyo Kusanagi, making him invincible in the world. However, fate seemed to conspire against him. Just as he was reveling in his newfound strength, he noticed two figures approaching from the direction of the sun. Zhou Qingzhe was shocked and momentarily failed to recognize Fang Lin Kong.
It was Yuan Qian Kun who coughed and said, "Old Zhou, why are you not diligently managing affairs in the International Demon Alliance but instead wandering around in outer space?" Upon hearing that familiar voice, Zhou Qingzhe recognized his lifelong nemesis despite Yuan Qian Kun's ever-changing appearance. "Yuan Qian Kun! You've finally returned..."
Zhou Qingzhe was about to unleash his demonic power in preparation for battle when Fang Lin Kong interjected, "So it's Uncle Zhou! Why do you look so strange? This ten-winged form is quite creative but also very ugly. You should hire an internationally renowned animator to redesign it!"
Seeing Fang Lin Kong startled Zhou Qingzhe; logically speaking, Kyo Kusanagi could fly out of Earth but would never do so with such ease. Yuan Qian Kun's ability to traverse the universe was somewhat expected given his reputation as Old Monkey. However, now even Fang Lin Kong could casually stroll through the high altitudes without needing a spacecraft. This left Zhou Qingzhe feeling alarmed. For a moment, he forgot to be wary of his formidable foe and asked Fang Lin Kong in a daze, "How have you cultivated your power so quickly?"
Fang Lin Kong smiled proudly but did not answer directly. He casually remarked, "I'm pursuing a cosmic deity with Senior Yuan Qian Kun; he might have infiltrated Earth with the intent to destroy humanity... and possibly even annihilate the demon race." As soon as Fang Lin Kong mentioned humanity, he remembered that Zhou Qingzhe was a demon and currently engaged in battle with the Demon Hunting Team. He quickly expanded his warning to include all living beings on Earth.
Zhou Qingzhe listened in shock; fortunately, Yuan Qian Kun had a stellar reputation. Although Zhou Qingzhe regarded him as a lifelong enemy, he still trusted his words greatly. At that moment, Yuan Qian Kun briefly explained Jinshi Yi's background. Zhou Qingzhe, possessing great composure, immediately responded, "Since this involves Earth's beings, I am willing to hand over the International Demon Alliance back into your hands, Old Yuan. As for our past grievances, we can settle them later. Whatever you decide, I will comply fully! Now tell me what we should do; I will cooperate wholeheartedly!"
Yuan Qian Kun pondered for a moment before smiling and saying, "Since you've taken control of the International Demon Alliance, I have no intention of reclaiming it. I plan to return to Paradise Realm soon; you can continue managing affairs on Earth. As for our past grievances, let them be forgotten with a smile. Jinshi Yi is new to Earth and will undoubtedly be unfamiliar with its customs; just keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior without mobilizing the forces of the International Demon Alliance against him."
Zhou Qingzhe trusted Yuan Qian Kun's words deeply but sighed in frustration: "I have some minor troubles at present; after using the Astrolabe to modify my genes, something went wrong—my demonic energy is surging uncontrollably against Earth's gravity and I can't descend."
Yuan Qian Kun chuckled and said, "Earth's energy is indeed peculiar; once one reaches the Ascend stage of cultivation, they will be repelled by this space's energy. If nothing unexpected occurs, they will be sent to another dimension. You must have used something unusual for your modification; instead of being sent away by repelling energy like most others would be, you ended up in space! Let me teach you a technique; first refine your demonic energy!"
Yuan Qian Kun selected an appropriate technique from the Celestial Chapter obtained from Fang Lin Kong and sent it into Zhou Qingzhe's consciousness using a Spiritual Wave. With his help, Zhou Qingzhe finally managed to suppress his surging power and return to his original form.
"Euxu Divine Clan... is actually a very terrifying race, even more renowned than the Zhen Dan Divine Clan that Jinshi Yi belongs to." At the Asian headquarters of the International Demon Alliance, Fang Lin Kong finally had the opportunity to seek advice from Yuan Qian Kun. Yuan Qian Kun was more than willing to help Fang Lin Kong enhance his strength.
Fang Lin Kong, quite intrigued, asked, "I know that human cultivators, unlike the weaker races in the universe who rely on their own efforts to elevate their life levels, are called immortals. Those who are born with immense power and roam freely are referred to as divine races. However, which divine races are particularly famous?"
Yuan Qian Kun smiled wryly and replied, "There are too many unpredictable things in the universe. There are at least tens of thousands of divine races capable of forming combat power across their entire race. Among the star systems I know of, there are the Zhen Dan Divine Clan, Euxu Divine Clan, Yasha Divine Clan, Flame God Clan, Jidu Divine Clan, and our Ancient Demon Ape, also known as the Saiyan Race. Together, they form the six major combat divine races. Their combat power is nearly on par with one another. However, the lifespan of divine races often correlates with their strength. I'm only nine thousand years old and cannot compare to Jinshi Yi's hundreds of thousands of years of formidable power."
"As for the Euxu Divine Clan, I don't know much either. I only know that their War Beasts can infinitely amplify their own strength. They serve not only as combat tools for the Euxu Divine Clan but also as aids for traversing the universe. The strength of the Euxu Divine Clan is often closely related to the War Beasts they cultivate. If you utilize the three War Beasts you have well, we should be able to contend with Jinshi Yi together."
The headquarters of the International Demon Alliance was lavishly equipped. As the two chatted, they gazed out through the expansive glass walls and noticed that several hundred people were lurking outside, ready to launch an attack at any moment. Since the war began, the Demon Hunting Team had repeatedly attempted to ambush the headquarters of the International Demon Alliance. This place was not only a symbol of the International Demon Alliance but also housed comprehensive data and was home to the largest monster training base in the world. Every year, hundreds of monsters came to the headquarters for training and subsequently became prominent figures in the Dark World.
When Yuan Qian Kun fell silent, Fang Lin Kong sighed and said, "I really don't want to participate in this war between the Demon Hunting Team and the International Demon Alliance, but there are countless fools determined to engage in such fruitless endeavors. Once faith reaches fanaticism, it becomes garbage. It’s true for any obsession!"
Yuan Qian Kun chuckled bitterly and said, "It's just that our timing is unfortunate." Before they could finish speaking, dozens of signal flares shot into the sky as the last rays of sunlight faded away. The eighth assault by the Demon Hunting Team was about to commence openly...
