I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

"Strange, why is there such a peculiar fragrance in this Fire Domain?"

Fire Crow Daoist muttered to himself. In his youth, he had formed a sworn brotherhood with the demon race's Crimson Dragon, Azure Flood Dragon, Kong Teng, and others, earning a formidable reputation. Thus, he could be considered well-experienced and knowledgeable.

Upon smelling this fragrance that even the eighth level of the Fire Domain couldn't block, his cloudy old eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light.

A rare treasure!

This was definitely the scent of some kind of rare treasure!

But what kind of rare treasure could possibly appear in this eighth level of the Fire Domain?

Hmm, I'll know once I go take a look.

He glanced at the Lamb-Fat White Jade Divine Iron he was halfway through refining and decisively stopped.

Lamb-Fat White Jade Divine Iron was indeed a good material, needed even by Sages for refining weapons, but his lifespan was nearing its end. Weapons were no longer important; what mattered was a precious medicine to extend his life. Just a whiff of this fragrance invigorated him, suggesting it could prolong his years.

For an old monster like him, whose lifespan was almost exhausted, anything that could extend life was more important than anything else.

"Hahaha, to be given something by Heaven and not accept it is to invite disaster! This is a gift from the heavens to me, Fire Crow Daoist!"

Did he eat Immortal Medicine?

No, no, no, he seems… seems… seems to BE Immortal Medicine!

Fire Crow Daoist used a kind of divine eye secret technique to peer into him and was immediately shocked by what he saw, a thunderbolt flashing through his mind.

As a big shot in the demon race, he naturally knew some demon race secrets. For example, the previous generation's Great Emperor, Azure Emperor Wan Qing, was transformed from the Immortal Divine Medicine Azure Lotus.

Of all the Immortal Divine Medicines, only Azure Emperor had transformed into a human form capable of cultivation. Outsiders didn't know this, but these demon race big shots knew, and they had a good relationship with Azure Emperor's descendants.

If a human cultivator were here, they might not even think of it, but Fire Crow Daoist, this old demon, did.

His gaze was like a torch, penetrating to the source, and he saw a faint image of a Divine Phoenix condensed from the thick wood essence and divine medicine essence within the young man's body, with roots growing and grass leaves as wings.

Divine… Divine Phoenix Undying Medicine?

The legendary Divine Phoenix Undying Medicine?

Divine Medicine transformed!

It really is a Divine Medicine transformed!

I actually encountered a young man transformed from Divine Medicine?!

At this moment, two choices appeared in Fire Crow Daoist's mind.

First, directly eat this young man. Even if he hadn't formed the Divine Medicine fruit, which could allow a person to live again, extending his life by a thousand years should be easy, right?

Second—

Nurture a Great Emperor.

Back then, Wan Qing swept across the starry sky, invincible, proving his Dao and becoming Emperor, known as the Azure Emperor. The advantages of a Divine Medicine transformation were fully displayed, arguably no weaker than any physique, and perhaps even superior.

Now, the Azure Emperor's descendant, Yan Ruyu, was still decent, but compared to a pure Divine Medicine transformed young man, she was definitely far inferior.

What to do, how should I choose?

Fire Crow Daoist couldn't help but swallow. This was too tempting, a Divine Medicine!

But the red-robed young man's divine sense was exceptionally sharp, and he actually sensed Fire Crow Daoist's peeping. Boundless Saintly might erupted, and a scarlet bronze furnace hovered above his head, devouring the seven-colored flames of the eighth level of the Fire Domain, seemingly about to unleash a shocking blow.

A Saintly weapon?!

Fire Crow Daoist was greatly alarmed. He couldn't withstand a Saintly weapon.

But the young man didn't move, seemingly at a critical moment in his cultivation, only summoning the Saintly weapon to hover above his head, protecting himself and cutting off Fire Crow Daoist's peeping.

With the Saintly weapon, Fire Crow Daoist naturally couldn't peep into the young man's origin anymore. The Divine Phoenix image was only a fleeting glimpse in his eyes.

But did he doubt it?

No, he was even more convinced that this young man was a Divine Medicine transformation! All the signs indicated that the young man in front of him was definitely the Divine Phoenix Undying Medicine transformed!

He was concealing himself, naturally not wanting to be discovered, but he had already seen it.

Various thoughts swirled in Fire Crow Daoist's mind, but in the end, he sat down.

Having lived for thousands of years, most of his relatives and friends had passed away. Only a few old brothers who had sworn brotherhood with him in the past were still alive because of their powerful cultivation, but they couldn't even gather all of them anymore. Crimson Dragon, his eldest brother, had disappeared for fifteen hundred years.

Was there really any meaning in living so long?

Even the Great Emperors of ancient times would die, let alone ordinary cultivators like them. Rather than living in obscurity, it would be better to nurture a demon race Great Emperor. If the demon race produced another Great Emperor after Azure Emperor, although the number would still be less than the human race, they would have some foundation.

In addition, Yan Ruyu, the descendant of the Azure Emperor, had recently retrieved the Azure Emperor's weapon, so the demon race finally had an Emperor weapon to suppress their fortune. Now, he had discovered a young man transformed from Divine Medicine. Could this be a sign that the heavens were about to revive my demon race?

When people get old, they tend to think more.

In any case, his vitality was declining, and he had no hope of proving his Dao. Rather than eking out a living, it would be better to leave a glimmer of hope for the demon race.

…Of course, the fact that he couldn't beat the Saintly weapon also had a little bit to do with it.

"At least he's better than Little Peng King."

Golden-Winged Peng King was his sworn brother, and Little Peng King was his grandson.

Well, how should he put it? His strength was okay, but his personality was not something to be admired. Fire Crow Daoist didn't think that child could go far on the path to becoming Emperor.

But a Divine Medicine transformation was different. That was the Undying Divine Medicine that even Great Emperors needed! The true kind of the Azure Emperor! His talent was unparalleled!

Fire Crow Daoist sat down beside him, seemingly not planning to leave, nor was he afraid of the Saintly weapon's attacks. He just sat there, waiting for the young man to finish his cultivation.

His mood was very contradictory. He wanted to prolong his life, but he also wanted to leave this talented young man for the demon race.

Clang, clang, clang!

A huge commotion came from the distance, shaking the Fire Domain and causing the young man under the Saintly weapon bronze furnace to frown.

But the sound was like a tide, wave after wave, without stopping.

"Humph!"

The young man snorted coldly, seemingly extremely dissatisfied, but he didn't even open his eyes, seemingly truly at a critical moment in his cultivation.

But this cold snort from the young man caused Fire Crow Daoist to stand up, his face kind and benevolent, saying, "You continue to cultivate, this old Daoist will go take a look."

Which bastard was making such a big commotion in the Fire Domain? Did they think the Fire Domain was their home!

He transformed into a streak of black light and flew out, and after a moment, a huge commotion came.

"Who allowed you to refine weapons here, recklessly shaking the Fire Domain!"

"Who are you? The Ji family has never needed anyone else's permission to act!"

"You're trying to suppress me with the Ji family's name? Humph, this old Daoist doesn't fall for that. Get out!"

Bang!

"Damn it, you old Daoist, how dare you destroy my treasure!"

"If you don't get out, you'll die!"

"Humph, my Ji family has never feared anyone, ah—"

On the sixth level of the Fire Domain, Ye Fan witnessed a murder scene.

How terrifying, a Ji family elder was just killed by an old demon.

I'd better hide.
