Chapter 669: Chapter 668: Clayton Zuck

"How do you use this ring? How do you open it?" Yusuf Zuck looked it over from left to right but couldn’t see anything special about this ring. It just looked like a very ordinary one—not gold, not silver, not copper, not aluminum. He had no idea what material it was made from.

"About this... first, you must drop blood on it to claim ownership, and only after solidifying the pill can you open it," the Black Jiao said apologetically.

"You can only open it after solidifying the pill? Blood oath?" Yusuf Zuck was frustrated for a moment; he was still a long way from that stage.

"How big is the space inside? Can it hold a person?" Yusuf Zuck asked again.

"It’s about three cubic meters. You cannot put people in it, as it cannot absorb anything with life."

"Three cubic meters?" Yusuf Zuck imagined it for a moment. Three cubic meters was quite large, even bigger than an ordinary small bedroom. You could put all sorts of things for eating and use inside.

"Truly amazing, to think that there are such treasures in the world!" Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance exclaimed in admiration.

"There are demons in this world too, so there must be countless things we don’t know or have never seen or heard of," Yusuf Zuck sighed and then tossed the ring back to the Black Jiao:"You use it for now, and when I solidify the pill someday, you can give it back to me!"

"Yes," the Black Jiao bowed respectfully.

"Did you just undergo Feather Transform?"

"Yes, thanks to the master for bestowing the ’Divine Liquid’, I have reached the Feather Transformation Realm overnight!"

"Were you at the late stage of the Golden Core before?"

"Yes."

"So Feather Transform means a small black Jiao is born from the Golden Core?" Yusuf Zuck continued to ask.

"Yes, but we Demon Cultivators are different from you humans. Our Feather Transform involves nurturing the life of our true form, while humans’ involves nurturing a human fetus."

"Giving birth, huh!" Yusuf Zuck blurted out in astonishment.

"It’s the birth of the Primordial Spirit, the first step in abandoning the mortal flesh to pursue the Great Dao," the Black Jiao explained. "When the small Jiao in the Dantian transforms into a human infant, it is the Nascent Soul Realm. For humans, the Nascent Soul is considered as such only when the fetus opens its eyes."

"I understand," Yusuf Zuck got the Black Jiao’s point. During human Feathering, although a fetal infant appears, it’s like a fetus in a womb with no consciousness, unable to open its eyes or move. Only when it reaches the Nascent Soul Realm and the fetal infant can move freely, it is called a Nascent Soul!

Solidifying Pill, Golden Core, Feathering, Nascent Soul—he was exploring the unknown of humanity, step by step, level by level.

"By the way, why were you afraid of my sword?" Yusuf Zuck suddenly remembered that he hadn’t used Mind Control, nor had there been an intense fight, but the Black Jiao had been subdued. It seemed his Purple Light Sword was quite unique.

"To answer the master, your Treasure Sword carries an aura of dragon slaughter, which I cannot resist or help but fear. It suppresses my energy, which is why I said that this sword is a dragon-subduing sword, or perhaps it has slain a true dragon!"

"Maybe," Yusuf Zuck raised an eyebrow. The sword was originally stuck in a dragon’s head, wasn’t it? Perhaps it really was a dragon-slaying sword.

Moreover, the Trapped Dragon Ban in the Capital City had been broken by this sword. So, this sword definitely contained many secrets and was truly extraordinary.

"Mhm, is this Crystal Palace yours? Is it safe here?" Yusuf Zuck then turned his attention to the Crystal Palace, an extensive edifice.

"It’s mine. It is very safe. Humans cannot find it, and even the Nine Jiao King of the deep sea cannot locate it. This is where I retreat for cultivation!"

"Right, go now and kill that little demon cultivator we encountered earlier, and bring his severed head back to me!" Yusuf Zuck suddenly remembered that demon cultivator that harmed humans and drank their blood; that demon cultivator must be killed.

"Yes." The Black Jiao did not say another word and directly vanished.

Only after the Black Jiao had left did the women sigh in relief; they had been genuinely afraid that the Black Jiao might betray them unexpectedly. Fortunately, the Black Jiao had always behaved submissively and dared not glance at the women again.

"Let’s go, let’s take a walk through this palace. If it’s safe here, I was thinking of leaving you behind!" Yusuf Zuck suddenly said.

"We don’t want that." Hearing Yusuf Zuck’s words, Ember Vance immediately objected. The Black Jiao had been too frightening earlier; they dared not stay here. Although the Black Jiao had become a castrated eunuch, they still felt uncomfortable.

"Indeed, we won’t stay behind. Wherever you go, we’ll follow. We agreed to never leave or forsake one another!" Ruth Wilcox said softly.

"Hmm, okay, I understand." Yusuf Zuck no longer insisted. He didn’t know whether they would live or die after reaching the Southern Continent, but since they had agreed to stick together, and the two women were afraid to stay, he decided to take them along.

The Black Jiao had become a eunuch, no different from the dead eunuchs in the palace. The reason the palace had eunuchs in the first place was that the Emperor wanted to prevent his concubines from being promiscuous, so he castrated the men. The Emperor could then rest easy.

The concubines in the palace all had eunuchs around them, and the eunuchs even had to tend to the concubines’ needs for bathing and dressing, among other tasks. Once turned into eunuchs, they became neither man nor ghost, but an appalling sight.

The Black Jiao’s Crystal Palace seemed to be carved from a single massive crystal, with many rooms hollowed out within. The largest was the main hall, where assorted animal skins were pieced together on the floor, warm and soft to the step. Beyond the main hall was a study with quite a few books inside, and opposite the study was a bedroom with only a jade bed.

Continuing further inside led to a garden-like area with a pond in the center and some potted plants around!

The place was indeed exquisitely decorated, portraying a sense of refined living taste.

By the time Yusuf Zuck had toured around with everyone, the Black Jiao had already returned, holding a bloody human head in his hand, which was the head of that little demon from earlier.

"Throw it away, throw it away, it’s horrifying to look at!" Both Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance couldn’t bear to look directly at it, as the sight was truly terrifying!

"Yes." With a single gulp, the Black Jiao opened his mouth wide and tossed the enormous head straight in, then crunched and swallowed it down!

"Gross~" Ruth Wilcox and Ember Vance completely lost it; both women were so disgusted that they threw up directly, and even Yusuf Zuck almost vomited.

"Did you do that on purpose?" Yusuf Zuck launched forward with a kick that landed squarely on the Black Jiao’s face, sending him tumbling to the ground, and then he stomped on him a few more times!

Tears streamed down the Black Jiao’s face; wasn’t he told to dispose of the body? The best option was to destroy all evidence.

"Right, you’ve Feather Transformed, haven’t you? Now tell me, how far can you project your Divine Sense?" Yusuf Zuck remembered that, when being pursued by a palace dignitary, someone’s Divine Sense was extremely vast, surpassing his own!

"Usually, for humans or demon cultivators in the Feathering Realm, the range of Divine Sense spans within a hundred li; some higher realm individuals can reach up to a hundred li, while I can barely cover forty li," replied the Black Jiao.

"Oh, so it won’t exceed a hundred li!" Yusuf Zuck nodded. The Feathering Realm also varied from low to high levels, which meant that the formidable adept from the palace might very likely be at the mid-stages of the Feathering Realm.

"Okay, everyone, take a rest now. Black Jiao, from now on, you’ll be called Clayton Zuck. Wait for me to advance in my practice, and after I level up, you’ll take us to the Southern Continent."

PS: Third update. The author wants Yusuf Zuck to build an army of demon cultivators, sweeping away all in his path. The fourth and fifth updates will come, before three in the afternoon and before seven in the evening. The author is someone who honors his promises.
