Chapter 308 - 205: Taking Control of Cave Sky
“So earlier you said, if I were from the Demon Clan, you would be willing to take me as your master. Does this mean that you see me having the potential to match a Great Saint?”
After the conversation, Feng Qing’an asked this with a thick skin. This wasn’t self-absorption; it was what the creature had suggested.
If it weren’t for the mismatch in race, it would have accepted him as its master. Feng Qing’an remembered clearly that it had mentioned this more than once. But the creature’s demands were also very clear: at the very least, he should have the potential to become a Great Saint.
“No, you don’t!”
Unfortunately, perhaps because of its lack of experience in communication, the Spirit of the Cave Sky knew not how to be tactful. Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s question, it directly rejected him,
“You are a reincarnated Pure Yang Immortal from the Human Race. Although you were once powerful, compared to the Great Saints of the Demon Clan, you are far behind!”
The giant serpent hovering in front of Feng Qing’an shook its head. It seemed to inherently know a lot, but it also lacked understanding of some things. At the very least, it could discern Feng Qing’an’s fundamental nature, but due to certain factors, it had also made some misjudgments,
“However, you were able to forsake your Longevity Taoist Fruit from your previous life and reincarnate, such willpower is enough for me to recognize you. Pity, you’re from the Human Race!”
“So, I don’t have the potential to match a Great Saint, it’s just that you lowered your standards?”
At these words, Feng Qing’an’s facial expression darkened a little.
“That’s right. But given that I can only stay within the Cave Sky, expecting a member of the Demon Clan who has the qualifications to become the Great Saint to arrive here is wishful thinking. So I reevaluated my expectations.
The lands outside must have been occupied by your Human Race. The Demon Clan is pitifully scarce, let alone the talented ones amongst them. The Demon Clan members I encounter now are of inferior bloodlines that I loathe to witness.
I screened for so many years and could only groom one little fellow who is somewhat passable. Compared to my current requirements, he is still far off!”
“What are your current requirements?”
“To possess the potential to become a Heavenly Demon is enough. This is already the lowest of the low, any lower and this Cave Sky cannot be repaired!”
The Spirit of the Cave Sky answered in a disheartened voice and emphasized its point.
“Just like those people outside who interact with you, they refer to themselves as a millennium-old family, all their years of effort merely maintain the balance of the Cave Sky, and prevent further collapse.
Although I should appreciate them, they are of no useful in repairing the Cave Sky. After many generations, not a single one of them is competent. Instead, I rely on the little fellow I have been quietly nurturing to maintain their foundation!”
“No wonder the Xiao Family does not know of your existence.”
Feng Qing’an understood the Xiao Family’s standing in the eyes of the Spirit of the Cave Sky. At the same time, he noted that Pure Yang Immortal is compared to Heavenly Demon in the Demon Clan.
“They are too weak and I see no hope in them. Relying on them, my end will be inevitable destruction!”
The Spirit of the Cave Sky had no positive comments about the Xiao Family.
Even though this so-called millennium-old family was born out of one of its previous sporadic attempts, this was undoubtedly a failure in its eyes. However, it had some effects, at least it delayed the collapse of the Cave Sky, but relying solely on them, the final result remains unchanged.
“So, I only meet your minimum standard?”
Feng Qing’an’s expression was somewhat subtle. Should he be happy or regretful about this?
“But you are a Human!”
“I can’t exactly be considered a full member of the Human Race!”
After understanding why it wants to acknowledge a master, Feng Qing’an relaxed considerably. He remembered that the birth of the Spirit of the Cave Sky was associated with the imminent destruction of the Cave Sky, perhaps this was some sort of a self-protective instinct of the Cave Sky?
“Huh? If you’re not a Human, then what are you?”
The nine serpent heads watched Feng Qing’an curiously. Then, to the surprise of Jiuling, a strand of Demon Qi suddenly emerged from within his body, which was clearly pure Human Race blood. The Demon Qi then increased at an eye-catching speed, transforming into cyan flames that wrapped around him.
“I am actually a half-demon. How about lowering your standard a bit more?”
Felling the overwhelming Ghost Wolf power that was almost bursting his body, Feng Qing’an said with a smile. However, due to the transformation of this power from Black Mountain, Feng Qing’an, who borrowed this power, underwent an unprecedented change in appearance under the influence of the Great Demon’s power.
His already tall and slender figure in the mortal world swelled under the influence of the Demon power, growing to nine feet, nearly ten feet tall. Even though he still maintained the Human posture, anyone looking at him would not regard him as a Human.
The pitch-black evil demon patterns spread across his face, his black hair grew wildly cascading down to his waist, and his black eyes turned into a deep blue color, flashing with a strange light as if they could devour the souls of Spirits.
“Half-demon?”
Seeing the sudden change in Feng Qing’an, the Spirit of the Cave Sky was also taken aback. This exceeded its common knowledge. It had used all nine of its heads to look several times.
“No, that’s wrong. You are still a Human, you don’t have the blood of the Demon Clan! Unbelievable, Feng Qing’an, how did you do this? Can the Human Race now harness the power of the Demon Clan?”
Even with nine heads, the Spirit of the Cave Sky couldn’t comprehend this scene. It was completely against common sense. In this scenario, shouldn’t a human be swallowed by the soul fire inside him that could harm one’s soul?
