I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 384: Gathering of Demons

These demonic beasts seem to be familiar with each other. At this moment, they are discussing the upcoming treasure. A turtle-like demonic beast, who appears to have lived for a long time, speaks slowly, "According to the information passed down from my grandfather's grandfather, this place was once occupied by a human cultivator. That human cultivator was incredibly powerful, so it's likely that the treasure was left behind by him."

The other several Gold Core demonic beasts nod in agreement. As for the Golden Toad, it keeps nodding incessantly, regardless of what the old turtle says.

"Fellow Daoist Toad, congratulations on your breakthrough. It's truly a cause for celebration," the old turtle says, suddenly congratulating the Golden Toad.

"Thank you, thank you."

For a while, the other Gold Core demonic beasts also offer their congratulations. They hold no ill will towards the Golden Toad.

"Thank you, Lord Turtle, and all the Fellow Daoists. As a junior, I hope you seniors can guide me in the future," the Golden Toad humbly says, causing the other Gold Core demonic beasts to nod in agreement.

The demonic beasts engage in occasional idle chatter, but they all pay attention to the commotion below.

From above, one can faintly see a pavilion-like structure beneath the sea surface, which is different from the treasure that everyone had previously anticipated.

"It seems to be a residence, but I believe the treasures are inside. These human cultivators are better at alchemy and using various natural spiritual objects than us. I would like to go in and see if I can find some longevity elixirs. It would be worth the trip," the old turtle says, looking at the pavilion.

"You're still looking for longevity treasures?" a peculiar shrimp-like creature laughs.

It's no wonder that the other demonic beasts burst into laughter. Turtles are known for their long lifespans, yet this old turtle still wants to find longevity treasures. Of course, it's a source of amusement for the other Gold Core demonic beasts.

Even the Golden Toad, though not laughing, looks at the old turtle with curiosity.

Unfazed, the old turtle says, "You all just don't understand. Although I have only lived for four thousand years, I have a dream in my heart—to break the record set by my ancestors. One of my ancestors lived for six thousand years during the Gold Core stage, a thousand years longer than me. To break this record, I need elixirs."

"By the way, let's make it clear beforehand. If there are any longevity elixirs inside, you all must not compete with me. As for the other treasures, you can take them. I don't need them anyway."

Upon hearing this, the other Gold Core demonic beasts breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, this turtle may look old, but his strength is extremely formidable within a radius of thousands of miles. With his late Gold Core stage cultivation and his incredibly tough shell, even Nascent Soul demonic beasts would find it difficult to kill him. Now that he doesn't want to compete for other treasures, it aligns with the thoughts of the other demonic beasts.

As for the other demonic beasts, their demand for longevity elixirs is not as great. As demonic beasts, once they break through to the Gold Core stage, their lifespans are generally over a thousand years, far surpassing human cultivators.

"Master, we haven't seen the treasure yet. However, a palace-like structure has emerged, which seems to be the residence of the human cultivator from before. But I heard the nearby demonic beasts say that there might be treasures inside, even longevity elixirs."

The Purple Golden Toad immediately conveyed the information in front of Lin Qing without reservation, causing Lin Qing's eyes to light up.

"Purple Golden Toad said there is a loft palace, and the treasure may be inside." Lin Qing said to Ru Yue.

Upon hearing this, Ru Yue's face also brightened: "This is more valuable than a single treasure. Generally, lofts like this often have some treasures inside. Maybe we can take advantage of the situation."

Lin Qing nodded, and the two of them patiently waited.

After a full hour, the underwater loft finally completely emerged. According to the Purple Golden Toad, there were nearly twenty Gold Core demonic beasts in the vicinity, but no Nascent Soul demonic beasts were found.

Lin Qing breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he wasn't too afraid of Gold Core demonic beasts. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he could at least escape. However, Nascent Soul demonic beasts were different. Lin Qing really didn't want to confront them. Now that he knew there were no Nascent Soul demonic beasts, Lin Qing thought that perhaps they were still in the depths of the Boundless Sea. The highest cultivation level here was only the late stage of Gold Core.

After the loft emerged, the Purple Golden Toad kept communicating with Lin Qing. The loft was extremely exquisite but had no entrance. The demonic beasts were trying to figure out how to enter, so Lin Qing was told not to be anxious.

Lin Qing naturally became even more patient and continued to wait.

At the loft, a group of Gold Core demonic beasts were scratching their heads and looking at the loft. The loft wasn't big, only about ten zhang in diameter, but no matter whether they collided with it or attacked it, the loft couldn't be damaged in the slightest. They couldn't enter at all.

"Old Turtle, do you have any good ideas?" a demonic beast asked the old turtle. After all, it had lived the longest and might have some ideas.

"In my opinion, this should be a restriction set up by human cultivators. Generally, it's extremely difficult to crack. However, as long as we demonic beasts work together, we don't need to be afraid of not being able to open it. Don't be afraid of damaging the loft. We won't know if there are any treasures inside until it's opened. If we can't open it, everything will be useless."

The old turtle didn't have any good methods, so they could only rely on brute force to break it.

But this method actually gained the favor of many demonic beasts. In their eyes, it didn't matter. They could just attack together. So after the old turtle finished speaking, seven or eight demonic beasts immediately launched an attack, and other demonic beasts were also influenced, using various means to continuously attack the loft.

The Purple Golden Toad secretly spat out a flame while observing the techniques of the other demonic beasts.

Among them, a mid-stage Gold Core sea bird was particularly powerful. It opened its mouth and spewed out a large number of fireballs, which hit the loft with loud bangs. It seemed to have a great effect on the loft. As for the other demonic beasts, many of them didn't use their full strength, so it was hard to tell.

Although many demonic beasts didn't attack with their full strength, there were still more than twenty Gold Core demonic beasts here now. When they attacked together, the loft couldn't withstand it.

With a "pu" sound, like a bubble bursting, a red light appeared on the surface of the loft. This red light emanated from the surface of the loft and quickly spread outwards. It disappeared in no time, and a door opened in the middle of the loft. However, it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

"It seems to have been broken. Let's enter quickly. This loft is so small, there probably isn't anything good inside." A demonic beast spoke up.

At this moment, the old turtle nodded, "Let's all go in, but don't underestimate the treasures of human cultivators. There may be other dangers inside. Everyone should be careful."

After the old turtle finished speaking, the group of demonic beasts crowded towards the entrance of the loft. It was strange that even though the loft didn't appear to be big, there was no obstruction when the demonic beasts entered one by one, as if they had entered another space.
