Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar

As the task was completed, the storage bag of demon Hong Yuan bulged impressively.

A rough estimate suggested that after consuming the newly-acquired cultivation resources, there was a fifty percent chance for demon Hong Yuan's strength to break through to the third-order higher Demon cultivator status—a truly precious opportunity.

It could only be said that the Clan Leaders of both the Winter Roaring Lion Demon Clan and the Flame Tiger Demon Clan were shrewd and capable.

After demon Hong Yuan left, both the Winter Roaring Lion Demon Clan and the Flame Tiger Demon Clan dispatched their trusted and able hands, forming elite teams.

Yan Dao and Winter Sword, the pair of rivals bound by love and hate, joined forces again, leading their subordinates to storm the cities and fortresses of the Golden Tiger Shark Demon Clan.

The Golden Tiger Shark Demon Clan, long untested in significant battles, suffered defeat after defeat, an experience most bitter.

It could be said that they were born in adversity, but perished in comfort!

BANG!

The young Master of the Golden Tiger Shark Demon Clan, Jin Qiang, slammed down the jade cup with such ferocity that it shattered into pieces, and the wine inside splashed all over the ground.

Jin Qiang's face contorted with fury, glaring at the subordinates within the hall, only to find that none dared to speak up, not even possessing the courage to confront the alliance of the two clans.

"Could it be that my grand Golden Tiger Shark power lacks a single good advisor?" Jin Qiang asked, seething with frustration.

Hearing this, Jin Yu and other Demon Cultivators lowered their heads even more, fearing to catch Jin Qiang's attention.

The best strategies also require Demon Cultivators who dare to execute them.

The decades-long continuous battle between the Winter Roaring Lion Demon Clan and the Flame Tiger Demon Clan had forged a group of brave and skilled warriors. These warriors were excellent sources of troops for sea territory offense and defense, making it no difficult task to overpower the Golden Tiger Shark Demon Clan, which was lax in warfare.

"Damn it, damn it. What use is the wealth of my Golden Tiger Shark Demon Clan if my people fear battle!?" Jin Qiang closed his eyes, searching for a strategy.

Due to demon Hong Yuan's move of striking while aligning with others, the strategy of the Golden Tiger Shark Demon Clan was severely disrupted, leaving them in an unspeakable plight.

Perhaps this was the reason why they had been so "uncooperative" with demon Hong Yuan at first.

After racing across the sea for three days and nights, Hong Yuan returned to the Black Dragon Palace as the sun rose, bathing the new day in brilliant light.

After a series of actions that comforted the hearts of his people, the group of Black Dragon Tao Soldiers and Taoists who followed Hong Yuan returned with smiles on their faces, happily seeking their pleasures in groups.

Aside from anything else, demon Hong Yuan's post-mission rewards were quite satisfactory, unlike other Taoists Zhenyi who only led their own folk without giving these lesser Demon Clans and Demon Cultivators a chance to benefit.

At this moment, Hong Yuan was in the Monarch Hall to see the Black Dragon Demon Saint.

The decor of the Monarch Hall was extremely simple; aside from the main hall area itself, there were only a set of jade slips and yellowed books laid out on a wooden table.

Hong Yuan glanced at it, a twitch forming at the corner of his mouth.

[Fine Quality Aphrodisiac Pill]

[Bloodline Sealing Art]

[...]

Boy, it seems that my Godfather, the Demon Saint, not only wants Xuan Chuxia, Xuan Dakan, and the rest of the Mysterious Water Snakes to become breeding snakes, but he himself also wants to enter the fray. But you are a Demon Saint! Hong Yuan thought to himself.

Hong Yuan quickly lowered his gaze, fearing the Black Dragon Demon Saint might notice the change in his emotions.

Every great demon who could become a Demon Saint had extraordinary talents and experiences that could fill biographies.

Especially the Black Dragon Demon Saint, who had risen from the destruction of his clan, fighting his way through to eventually arrive at one of the six Tao Species of the Dragon God Sacred Land, before finally becoming a Demon Saint!

The Black Dragon Demon Saint indeed noticed demon Hong Yuan's actions, and his lips curled up slightly, teasing, "Guangqiao, you're not getting any younger yourself. When will you spread your branches and add to the Ice Armor Python lineage?"

Demon Hong Yuan was somewhat stiff, and then he decisively replied, "Godfather, your child has long sworn to himself, 'If I don't become a Demon Saint, I vow not to marry.'"

"Oh?" The Black Dragon Demon Saint's eyes lit up. "That's a noble ambition."

If it were someone with mediocre talent like Xuan Dakan from the Mysterious Water Snake tribe who dared to tell him "If I don't become a Demon Saint, I vow not to marry," the Black Dragon Demon Saint would have slapped him long ago to make him face reality.

But if it was a Demon Cultivator of uncommon talent like demon Hong Yuan, then the Black Dragon Demon Saint would be very pleased.

"Mmm, let Xuan Dakan and the others lead the task of expanding the family line. Guangqiao, you should focus on your cultivation and strive to reach the Demon Saint realm as soon as possible, letting our clan achieve the glorious feat of having two Demon Saints," the Black Dragon Demon Saint said lightly.

Afterward, the Black Dragon Demon Saint also expressed his satisfaction with demon Hong Yuan's growth and his handling of the Lion Tiger Shark Island Archipelago issue, deciding to sign Hong Yuan up for the Heart-questioning Trial at the Dragon God Sacred Land.

Once he had received the Disciple's mark and was registered, he would be able to enter the Dragon God Sacred Land after reaching the fifth rank.

"The Heart-questioning Trial?" Hong Yuan murmured softly.

"Yes, I achieved the Demon Saint Realm thanks to the Creation I received from that trial," the Black Dragon Demon Saint said solemnly.

It was clear that he placed great importance on the Heart-questioning Trial.

"Take out your storage bag, I will exchange some suitable resources for you in Treasured Yellow Heaven," the Black Dragon Demon Saint said, extending his large hand, and Hong Yuan obediently took out his storage bag.

Hong Yuan was somewhat surprised.

He wasn't surprised by the Black Dragon Demon Saint asking for his storage bag, but by Treasured Yellow Heaven.

While operating, the Black Dragon Demon Saint explained the information about Treasured Yellow Heaven to Hong Yuan.

In the middle ancient period, the nearly Martial Emperor Monarch Duobao accidentally obtained a Yellow Heaven fragment. After merging it into his own Cave Heaven, he formed Treasured Yellow Heaven, a real-time trading platform similar to Taobao.

Inside Treasured Yellow Heaven, the empty celestial space rippled with a lemon-like treasure light, creating a Cave Heaven that only contained treasures.

Worms, martial arts, beasts, vegetation, and various kinds of materials circulated and were traded there.

To communicate with Treasured Yellow Heaven, a Demon Saint or Martial Saint needed to stimulate a Communicating Sky Bug with an Immortal Nuance. As long as a saint-level person used the Communicating Sky Bug, they would be able to catch the movements of Treasured Yellow Heaven within their sense range and trade with it.

"Guangqiao, I will exchange for Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade Marrow for you," said the Black Dragon Demon Saint.

As soon as he finished speaking, he stirred the Immortal Nuance to activate the Communicating Sky Bug. Instantly, the simple Monarch Hall was bathed in brilliant yellow light, and the Black Dragon Demon Saint's face became hazy.

Hong Yuan watched as the Communicating Sky Bug expanded in size, becoming as large as a Tibetan Mastiff.

The Communicating Sky Bug opened its wide mouth, continuously devouring the resources from inside Hong Yuan's storage bag.

After a while, the Black Dragon Demon Saint even took out a jelly-like item that resembled a green bamboo from his Black Earth Demon Territory.

Hong Yuan was slightly astonished. A fifth-rank rare treasure, the Green Xiang Bamboo! That's quite generous.

In the end, Hong Yuan received a large segment of Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade Marrow.

Just by staring at the Ice Tao Rhymes on the Ten Thousand Years Cold Jade Marrow, Hong Yuan felt a strong desire.

"Guangqiao, you must work hard in the Heart-questioning Trial two years from now."

When Hong Yuan received such treasures, the Black Dragon Demon Saint expressed his great expectations.

"Rest assured, Godfather. Your child will do his utmost and not fail your esteemed name."

Hong Yuan left, joyfully departing from the Black Dragon Palace.

And when he received the Wisdom Tao Cultivation Technique as a gesture of goodwill from the Wisdom Tao Demon Cultivator Gui Qu, his happiness multiplied.

"The 'Small Seven Star Skill'? A human Cultivation Technique?!"

Demon Hong Yuan was extremely shocked; his human self swiftly memorized this Cultivation Technique.
