Chapter 564 - 564 156 Where are the Demon Veins

Chapter 564: Chapter 156: Where are the Demon Veins? Chapter 564: Chapter 156: Where are the Demon Veins? What’s so different?

The Cat Emperor rolled his eyes internally.

This is entirely different!

“We are demons, the energy channels running through our bodies naturally are demon veins on which our cultivation primarily depends.”

“Future achievements are closely related to the growth of the demon veins, inseparable. But now, the demon veins within the young girl’s body are nearly non-existent.”

The Cat Emperor said: “What’s more, her current state of cultivation and foundation is unimaginably strong, exceptionally rapid, however in accordance with our lineage and traditions, after realizing the fifth tail, one can transform and cultivate in human form.”

He hesitated and said: “Even though Little Shadow’s body still has her father’s Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline, which is different from normal Seven Orifice Spirit Cat bloodline, the timing of her transformation should still not be far off. But I have repeatedly examined her, and her demon veins are close to disappearing… Can you tell me why this is?”

After saying this, he worried that Feng Yin might misunderstand and think he was questioning him.

He can’t let this benefactor feels disheartened.

He quickly added: “Based on my cultivation experience, I can feel that the disappearance of these demon veins is not necessarily a bad thing; but looking back on the tens of thousands of years of our demon clan, there has never been such a situation, so I am perplexed about its future pathway… Little Shadow struggles to make progress by following mine or her father’s cultivation experience, it’s really hard not to think more about it.”

Feng Yin nodded and said: “I understand your concerns. There are indeed reasons behind this. What you said is good thing, it is indeed a great thing.”

The Cat Emperor asked eagerly: “Please elaborate.”

Feng Yin calmly said: “Our cultivation, whether it’s human or demon, all seek one thing, to become powerful and live long.”

“Indeed, all cultivators are in pursuit of this.”

“In order to establish an existence in this world, to be able to go through storms, to face strong opponents, to fear no enemies; on one hand, it’s to live freely and on the other hand to protect family and friends.”

“Ah, your wisdom is indeed profound and enlightening.”

“Your Majesty, you must have heard of the legend of immortals.”

Feng Yin said: “Our peaceful continent is boundless and fertile. Since ancient times, there have been countless legends of immortals, but who has truly seen an immortal?”

“Indeed.”

“The highest legend that currently circulates in this world of the peaceful continent is referred to as the ‘land immortals’.”

“What you said is true. No matter Demon Venerable or Nine Colors, they are at most considered land immortals, even though they are extraordinary, they are not really immortals.” The Cat Emperor admitted.

“But our martial artists, and those who cultivate, their ultimate dream, the highest goal, is merely to strive for that step.”

Feng Yin said calmly: “The human body undoubtedly has the greatest advantage. It’s naturally determined by innate conditions. Just as there is light and dark in the Heaven, there is Yin and Yang in humans. The five elements corresponds to the five facial features. The five organs of the human body also correspond to the five elements; humans have six breaths, Heaven has… As for the meridians, the 12 meridians, the 365 points correspond to the stars and so on, its direct influence is clear and evident.”

“However, the saying ‘the human body is the microcosm, self-constituting heaven and earth’ is a truth that is indisputable.”

Feng Yin said: “And these are exactly what the demon clan does not possess, so the high-ranked demons choose to transform into a human form when their cultivation reaches a certain stage, and take it as a further acquirement.”

“In other words, the first step for the demon clan’s cultivation concept to reach the ultimate state is not talent or background, but transformation. Only by transforming into a human can they move further and have the potential to break through the Great Dao.”

Feng Yin said: “That’s the underlying reason for all of the demons to face the challenge of transformation.”

“Yes.”

The Cat Emperor admitted this point.

Considering the standpoint of the peaceful continent, where humans and demons are incompatible, the demon clan has always been determined that the demon body is stronger than the human body, but they cannot deny the natural superiority of the human body in terms of cultivation. The fact is such that even if they completely deny it, it’s all in vain.

Feng Yin paused briefly and then continued: “However, even if the high-grade demons can successfully transform and breakthrough to higher levels, fundamentally, their future path is no more than becoming a Demon Immortal.”

“In my humble opinion, the so-called Demon Immortal lacks the spirit of moderation, the lack of natural destiny, the great who have some regrets. Although they have great power, but after all, they are not able to point directly to the Dao.”

Feng Yin said: “And this is the fundamental difference between demon veins and human veins.”

“To be fair, demons at the beginning of their cultivation are far superior to humans, whether it’s strength, physical strength, constitution, or even speed. But as cultivation continues to progress longer, the differences between the two races gradually appear, the progress of the demon race slows, and humans gradually overtake.”

“What’s more, under the same realm, when human and demon cultivators truly reach the extreme high level, the body and talents of the demon clan not only cannot become the assistance for their victory but would become the cause of their defeat.”

The Cat Emperor said: “Although that’s theoretically the case, for so many years, our demon clan has always been like this, hard to change. After all, we are constrained by our innate race, we cannot discard our own roots, how can we do anything about it?”

Feng Yin smiled and said: “This is exactly why Your Majesty has so many doubts.”

“The source of many doubts? How should this be interpreted?” The Cat Emperor’s eyes lit up and she asked.

“Feng Ying.”

Feng Yin said: “Feng Ying is the proof, the path she is on is the path to transcendence.”

“The Path of Transcendence?”

With the intuition of the seasoned cultivator that Cat Emperor is, she instantly grasped the implications. Her delicate body trembled with excitement as she hastily asked, “Sir, are you saying…”

“Exactly as Your Majesty is thinking.”

Feng Yin said, “From the moment Feng Ying fell into my hands, I have been cleansing her of her Demon Veins. So far, the reshape of her meridians, the rebuilding of her bones and the alteration of her Root Bones have all been completed… half of her Demon Veins have already been purged!”

“Half? But when I checked just now, the Demon Veins in her body were almost gone. If this is just half, how can the remaining be removed?”

“Halfway through a journey of a hundred miles, the hardest part is the last part. It’s not something that can be achieved in a short amount of time. Even though Feng Ying’s progress seems rapid, she will need a considerable amount of time and… luck, to completely remove the remaining.” said Feng Yin in a deep voice.

However, the Cat Emperor was unusually excited. “May I ask, how will Feng Ying be if she totally gets rid of her Demon Veins?”

“If they are completely purged, then she naturally becomes a pure spiritual immortal.”

Feng Yin said, “She will have a future that surpasses all predecessors in the Demon Clan, and a bright and clear path beneath her feet.”

“I think, I understand.”

Cat Emperor said, “In other words, based on Feng Ying’s current foundation, if she continues to practice to a high level, she will not undergo the pain that we, the Demon Clan, suffer when progressing further?”

Feng Yin said, “Are you referring to the Thunder Tribulation?”

“Yes.”

“She shouldn’t need to go through that; because her constitution has already exceeded the domain of Heaven’s retribution. However, she cannot avoid experiencing it during her transformation, which is a limitation of her origin. Despite anyone’s efforts, it’s difficult to totally eliminate the restrictions of Heaven’s Path.”

Feng Yin said, “After this, there will be all the challenges that human cultivators face; the Great Dao Thunder Tribulation that only appears when breaking through to a higher level. She won’t experience the tribulation of Heaven’s retribution specific to the Demon Clan anymore.”

“I see! So, that’s the truth?”

Cat Emperor stood up, pacing back and forth, her expression clearly showing her excitement.

She is a top cultivator of this world, a true cultivation expert.

If Feng Yin were telling a lie, she would be able to detect it immediately.

Combining her own experiences, and the extensive knowledge accumulated over the long years, her understanding of the so-called highest realm in the entire Demon Clan, and their helpless attitude towards the Demon Veins.

Cat Emperor can affirm that everything Feng Yin said is the truth!

Facts always speak louder than words. The truth before her eyes could not be denied!

Feng Ying’s rapid progress, her complete alteration of Root Bone, and almost vanishing Demon Vein, are all undeniable facts.

Furthermore, there’s a hidden layer of truth here that not even Feng Yin knows—

Feng Ying is not a pure Seven Orifice Spirit Cat. She also carries the bloodline of her father, the Nine-tailed Fox.

This is a lineage that spans across two races.

One could say that Feng Ying combines the bloodline of two Demon clans, which is advantageous. But on the other hand… she actually…

With this kind of legacy, looking from the perspective of the Demon Clan, she would indeed progress rapidly in the early stages of cultivation. But this speed will slow down once she reaches a certain level, particularly after she reaches the transformation stage—the difficulty in crossing this bottleneck will be unprecedented!

But now, both Nine-tailed Fox and Seven Orifice Spirit Cat’s racial lineages in Feng Ying’s body have been dissolved. They have truly become one in a meaningful sense.

This is an achievement that no predecessors in the Demon Clan, not even Demon King, Demon Saint or Demon Venerable, could accomplish, despite their omnipotent capabilities.

This unprecedented feat among the demons has unwittingly been achieved by Feng Yin. This is very intriguing, and even someone like the Cat Emperor could not help admiring it!

“Your Majesty, I need to make it clear that the transformation stage for Feng Ying may not be as easy as imagined.”

As Feng Yin stroked Feng Ying’s head, he sighed lightly.

“I understand.”

Watching how Feng Ying did not resist Feng Yin’s strokes, but rather seemed to enjoy and be affectionate towards them, the Cat Emperor’s eyes became complicated.

Yes, very complicated!

“Usually, a Nine-tailed Fox with five tails can transform; and for a Seven Orifice Spirit Cat, achieving transformation lies in opening up all seven orifices and gaining the inherent ability to attract luck and ward off evil… then it can transform.”

Cat Emperor said, “Little Shadow is already at level seven, and all her seven orifices are open; yet there is no sign of her wanting to transform, which is clear evidence.”

Feng Yin laughed and said, “With Your Majesty’s inherited talent, when Little Shadow transforms, she will surely be a peerless beauty.”
