Chapter 509
Jiang Shu appears! The situation in the Chaos Demon Sea
Compared with the human race and the demon race, the status of half-demons is really embarrassing, like a small boat in the ocean.
Normally the sea is calm and the small boat can still survive.
But when the wind and clouds suddenly arise, in the raging waves, the little boat carrying the half-demon's destiny may be overturned by a wave at any time, without being able to create a single ripple, and disappear in the long river of time.
The young man with fox ears let out a long sigh. He felt confused about the road ahead and didn't know where to go.
He just looked at the floating skeletons in the sea of chaotic monsters and sighed heavily.
“Maybe in a few years, I will become one of them.”
He is not afraid of death, he just doesn't want to die like this.
"It would be great if we could cross this sea of monsters and reach the territory of the human race. I believe the human race will definitely accept us. After all, humans are more moral than monsters."
"At worst, we will continue to do this kind of work of serving others. No matter how much the strong men of the human race look down on us, at least they will not eat us when they are hungry, and they will even make some comments about us."
As if he could see that Fox Ears was in a bad mood, the sturdy man with horns walked up and whispered.
If other people hear this kind of words, it will implicate relatives.
However, the worried Fox Ear just looked around and found that no one noticed their conversation. He shook his head and whispered, "Let's not talk about whether the human race will accept us. How can we cross the Chaos Demon Sea?"
With their cultivation level at the Furnace Fire Realm, they died at the hands of the sea beasts in the Chaos Demon Sea before they even saw the boundary barrier.
The horned man chuckled and said again: "Even if it can't be passed, at least it's a thought."
"Sir, our lives have never been in our own hands. Let's live one day at a time. There's no need to worry. Let's have a drink first."
When the fox heard this, he punched the horned man in the chest and said with a smile, "You only know how to drink, and you are not afraid of delaying things."
"Now is a time of trouble, so let's do the things at hand well first."
"When we get off the shore, I'll treat you to delicious food and spicy drinks."
The sturdy man with horns was also honest and simple-minded. Hearing this, he happily agreed.
The young man with fox ears also buried his thoughts deep in his heart. He glanced in the direction of the vast continent, turned around and walked towards his room.
This ship is extremely ordinary, without any gorgeous decorations. It can barely protect against sea beasts. Even though he is called a young master, he only has a small room where you can see the end at a glance.
The room is not big. It is in the cabin and it is pitch black once you enter.
The young man with fox ears pointed and lit the sea beast oil candle in the room, then turned around and found that there was a young man whose face could not be seen sitting on the chair. His figure was blurry, as if he was sitting there, but also as if he was in a distant space.
He rubbed his eyes violently, and suddenly felt frightened and knelt down in a hurry.
"My humble servant Hu Yi... greets His Excellency!"
Hu Yi had no sense of anyone else's presence in his room.
Judging from the appearance of this young man, he has already taken human form, and is at least a great demon in the transformation stage.
He is not someone that a half-demon like him can afford to offend.
His voice was trembling, his heart was beating at its fastest speed, and he was extremely frightened. What kind of magical powers did the great demon in the transformation realm have? His conversation on the deck could not be heard clearly.
"You seem to have a good impression of the human race?"
Sure enough, the young man in front of him spoke slowly. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, Hu Yi felt that every part of his body was seen thoroughly by the young man.
His psychological defenses were almost broken and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Even though the young man was just sitting there and saying a few simple words, he felt that the adult in front of him could take his life with just a glance.
It's like looking down at the insects on the ground and killing them with ease.
"Sir, please look carefully!"
Hu Yi was terrified and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"I was the one who said the words that were biased towards the human race. I deserve to die, but I have never had any contact with the human race, and I have no chance to do so. This matter has nothing to do with others."
"Please, sir, spare their lives for their dedication to the demon race!"
Looking at Hu Yi who was knelt in front of him, Jiang Shu's expression remained unchanged. He had already set up partitions around the room so that no one could hear or see anything happening here.
He said, "You know, if it weren't for what you said, you would have lost your head by now."
When Hu Yi heard this, he was stunned on the spot, his lips opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word.
What does it mean?
In Hu Yi's opinion, if the adults heard his capital words just now, it would be uncertain whether he could save his relatives, let alone other people on the ship. But why didn't this adult kill him, but instead had a faint smile on his face?
"Let me ask you, since you have never seen the human race, how do you know that the human race will tolerate you?"
"There is a saying among humans, 'Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.' Half-demons only have human blood flowing in their veins, but their appearance still retains that of a demon."
"How many talented and powerful people in the human race died at the hands of the demon race? That's a blood feud. The strongest half-demon is only at the Yuandan realm, which is of no use to the human race."
"What you long for, is it the human race, or the dream country you created deep in your heart after suffering so much humiliation?"
Jiang Shu spoke again, and every word he spoke was like a sharp sword piercing Hu Yi's heart.
With his level of attainment, there was no need for him to talk so much to a tiny fire.
However, half-demons have infiltrated every aspect of the demon race over the years. Although their strength is low, if they can be pulled into the human camp, they may be able to play an unexpected role.
But I can't stay here to handle this matter all the time, so I need someone to take charge.
Originally, he stayed on the ship and had various means at his disposal. For him, he could turn Hu Yi into a puppet so that people could not see the changes.
You can also search the soul directly and filter out all the information.
Having cultivated from an ordinary person to the realm of all things, he has no shortage of dead souls under his command.
However, what Hu Yi said just now made Jiang Shu look at him with new eyes, and he was willing to give him a chance.
Hearing this, Hu Yi calmed down instead.
He was in deep thought, identifying the loopholes in his admiration for the human race.
Jiang Shu was not in a hurry either, he just waited quietly.
After a moment, Hu Yi raised his head, and there seemed to be a gleam in his eyes.
"My Lord, I understand what you mean."
"The human race is not perfect. There are also factional disputes and petty intrigues among them." "But I once heard someone say something about the human race. It was that sentence that made me realize why the human race is better than the demon race for me."
"Oh?"
Jiang Shu became interested when he heard this and asked, "Which sentence is it?"
The fox ears looked respectful, as if it was talking about something very important.
“There is no discrimination without distinction.”
There is no distinction between education and distinction.
When these words were spoken, even Jiang Shu's eyes narrowed.
There are too many races living among the demon clan, with many powerful people and a large number of magical powers, but it is almost impossible for outsiders to obtain these inheritances. Only their own clansmen are qualified to practice.
It is undeniable that this kind of sectarianism also exists among the human race, but the major forces have always been willing to teach the most powerful and precious skills of their sect to their talented disciples. This is also the most important reason why the human race can occupy the vast domain with its weak body.
This is exactly what half-demons like Hu Yi value the most.
It is extremely difficult for them, half-demons, to break through to the Nirvana realm as they are restricted by their bloodlines, but they also cannot access the most advanced methods of cultivation.
"What a great way to teach everyone."
"Simply speaking of your character, it's a pity that you are only at the Furnace Fire Realm. If your bloodline is pure, perhaps you can become a prince of the demon clan."
Jiang Shu himself also rose from obscurity and achieved his current position with an indestructible heart of Tao and a pair of fists.
In his opinion, if a monk wants to reach the highest level step by step, he must have his own pursuits.
Someone like Hu Yi was only restrained by his half-demon bloodline. If he were among the demon race, his future achievements would probably be at least that of a great demon in the transformation realm.
"How dare I compare myself with Your Highness, who is so humble as to dare to compare myself with Your Highness."
Although Hu Yi's cultivation level was not high, he had a lot of knowledge and kowtowed repeatedly.
He felt somewhat uneasy, not knowing why this adult would say such words to him.
But vaguely, I already had some guesses in my mind.
"I'll give you a chance. If you work for me, I'll give you opportunities you never thought of. I won't guarantee that you'll reach a higher realm, but as long as you can stay alive, I'll definitely send you to the Cangmang Realm."
If an ordinary person said this, Hu Yi would definitely think that this person was crazy.
Become the prince of the demon clan?
Go to the vast territory?
This was something Hu Yi dared not even think about.
Each and every prince is the product of countless natural treasures spent by the most powerful races, and has nearly endless demon skills to choose from. He is destined to reach the pinnacle, the star in the sky, and the eternal sun.
I am just an ant crawling on the ground.
Even a glance from those princes is enough to destroy me and my relatives behind me.
Who exactly is this lord? According to him, he doesn't even take those princes seriously.
Hu Yi didn't know that Jiang Shu, as the True Lord of All Things, had surpassed the younger generation in strength and status and became the backbone of a race. He even killed three demon princes with his own hands. How could he take them seriously?
But the young man in front of him was so extraordinary. The self-confidence shining in his eyes was so convincing that even if he said he could pick the sun and the moon from the sky, it would be quite convincing.
He just sat in front of him without showing any strength.
Hu Yi just believed that what this young man said was true.
This might be the greatest opportunity he could encounter in his life!
Take a gamble, if you succeed you’ll have a chance to go further.
No, you will be a half-demon all your life!
Hu Yi took a deep breath, put away his clothes which were a little messy due to fear, knelt down respectfully in front of Jiang Shu, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and said, "Hu Yi, I meet the master."
Being a servant should be humiliating.
But for half-demons, their status is equivalent to that of servants, so Hu Yi did not hesitate at all and put on a very good attitude.
Jiang Shu waved his hand gently, and a gentle force came over Hu Yi, helping him up and sitting aside.
"Tell me about the current situation in this Chaotic Demon Sea."
The fox people to which Hu Yi belongs are born smart. They started out by relying on a powerful race in the chaotic sea of monsters to do intelligence trading.
He knows the situation in the Chaos Demon Sea better than even some great demons in the transformation realm.
Zhou Sheng said without thinking: "My lord, there are ten large islands, dozens of medium-sized islands and countless small islands in the Chaos Demon Sea. There are four demon kings in charge of the east, west, south and north respectively."
As Zhou Sheng spoke, he took out a map from a somewhat worn storage bag and spread it in front of the two of them, describing the distribution of forces in the Chaos Demon Sea in great detail.
The origin of this map is not small. The description of each island is very detailed, and most of them are in the hands of major forces.
According to Hu Yi, this map was originally drawn by a half-demon under the orders of the demon clan, and it took nearly a hundred years to draw. His father secretly kept a copy of it, and later passed it to him.
"We are going out to sea this time not only to search for supplies on the islands, but also to confirm whether there are any traces of human monks on those islands."
"Those great demons have never thought about the possibility that if we really encounter a human cultivator, how can we survive?"
Those who can cross the boundary barrier are all famous strong men. I am afraid that they will be smashed to pieces by a Yuanli handprint before they even see what the other person looks like.
The demons didn't see them as human beings, but as cannon fodder.
"The war between humans and demons is approaching. I don't know which strong man has come through the barrier, causing chaos in our Chaotic Demon Sea. There are often transformed demons patrolling the sea area, which makes everyone panic."
Hu Yi was full of complaints, but his eyes were secretly glancing at Jiang Shu's expression.
He always had a premonition that the source of the tense atmosphere during this period was his master.
Jiang Shu nodded and said, "I've heard that there has been constant internal strife within the demon race, and it turns out that it has reached such a serious level."
"Your fox clan is well-informed. Do you know where in the Chaos Demon Sea there are cultivation resources, or any news about the Demon King?"
Hu Yi was very familiar with the Chaos Demon Sea, and even more so with the distribution of cultivation resources. He marked them out on the map in a short time, and even knew some secrets about the Demon King, which was impressive.
"My Lord, the ancestor of the Senhu clan was an early demon king. When he was young, he was famous and a well-known leader of the Transformation Realm. But after he became a demon king, he encountered some problems that cut off his path and even his life span was almost gone. He is barely alive and I don't think he will live for many more years."
"When he was young, he must have offended many great monsters in the Transformation Realm. Some of these monsters became monster kings. Therefore, he dared not stay in the clan land. It is very likely that he is hiding on this small island." (End of this chapter)
