Chen Nan finally recalled the name Cong Zun.
It was said to be the greatest Demon Emperor in the history of the Demon Realm.
He ruled the demon race single-handedly.
And this person had a fundamental difference from other demons.
He did not like war.
He had also been controlling the fertility rate of the Demon Realm.
He wanted to emulate the survival methods of the human race.
Precisely because of this.
There had been peace between humans and demons for tens of thousands of years, with no wars or killings.
However.
Who would have thought.
That the lord of the Demon Realm would appear in the Immortal Mansion?
"Lord of the Demon Realm?"
"Just a stray dog."
Cong Zun chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"No!"
"I'm not even worthy of being called a stray dog."
"Because I was bitten by the pack of beasts I raised."
He did not say much.
But Chen Nan had some realization: "If I'm not mistaken, Senior, you were betrayed by your eighteen Demon Lords, weren't you?"
The books recorded.
Cong Zun had eighteen Demon Lords under him.
Those eighteen Demon Lords were all Ninth-level Demon Emperors.
Their strength was second only to Cong Zun.
Cong Zun said calmly, "I don't like war."
"Although demons are brutal and warlike."
"War is a double-edged sword."
"It kills the enemy."
"And it harms oneself."
"My father, mother, and siblings all died in the war between humans and demons."
"When I participated in the human-demon war."
"When I found the human who killed my loved ones."
"I couldn't bring myself to kill him."
"He was merely defending the justice in his heart."
"Although my loved ones died at his hands."
"But..."
"My loved ones were the invaders."
"If they hadn't invaded human territory."
"They wouldn't have faced the desperate resistance of human powerhouses."
"In the final analysis, it was all caused by the demons."
"The genes in the demon bloodline are the culprit."
Hearing this.
Chen Nan couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Cong Zun.
Look at this.
This is what true vision is.
If all members of the demon race had Cong Zun's vision.
What worries would there be about achieving peace in the world?
"So."
"I ruled the Demon Realm."
"I raised eighteen adopted sons, giving them all Ninth-level Demon Emperor cultivation."
"I wanted to end war with war."
"Although I achieved considerable results."
"I made a fatal mistake."
"I always treated my people as humans."
"But I ignored that demons are ultimately demons, and even if you treat them as humans."
"They won't act like humans."
Saying this.
A strong sense of anger emerged from his previously calm voice.
Chen Nan could understand the feeling of being betrayed by loved ones.
Cong Zun had trained eighteen adopted sons to Ninth-level Demon Emperor cultivation, which must have cost him immense effort.
But who could have imagined.
That he would be betrayed by his eighteen adopted sons?
Cong Zun sighed, "I thought I was surely going to die."
"But I was drawn into this Tongtian Tower by a devouring force."
"Then came the long wait."
"Until your appearance."
Chen Nan said solemnly, "Senior, though we are not of the same kind."
"I, like you, dislike war and killing."
"I also want to end war with war."
"However, my strength is suppressed in the Demon Realm."
"I hope you can tell me how to become stronger, so that we can realize our shared wish."
Cong Zun shook his head, "I cannot tell you how to become stronger and then slaughter my own kind."
"Nor can I tell you that the Demonic Skill I created, the Blood Demon Great Law, is in that black wooden box."
???
Chen Nan was stunned.
He was quite surprised by Cong Zun's unconventional move.
You indeed didn't tell me anything.
But you didn't hide anything from me either.
His mind moved.
The black wooden box in the distance floated before him.
Upon opening it.
A cultivation technique, the Blood Demon Great Law, appeared before his eyes.
Chen Nan was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Senior. If you wish to leave, you can tell me anytime."
Cong Zun shook his head, "It's quite good here."
Chen Nan did not persuade him and said, "Rest assured, Senior, I will definitely help you kill those eighteen traitors."
"If possible, I hope you can find a woman named Ku Ruo."
"I don't know if she is still alive at this time."
Cong Zun said, slowly closing his eyes.
But before he closed his eyes.
Chen Nan saw a hint of longing in his eyes.
Chen Nan knew.
This woman named Ku Ruo must be very important to Cong Zun.
"Rest assured, Senior, as long as Ku Ruo is alive, I will definitely find her and bring her to you." Chen Nan bowed to Cong Zun, then withdrew from the seventh level of the Immortal Mansion.
Upon arriving at the first level of the Immortal Mansion, Chen Nan opened the Blood Demon Great Law.
The cultivation technique sounded terrifying just by its name.
Of course.
Practicing it was also terrifying.
It required the killing of ten thousand demons.
And absorbing the essence of ten thousand demons to temper the body.
Of course.
It was also simple to improve one's cultivation.
One only needed to rely on endless killing.
Absorbing demonic energy to become stronger.
This cultivation technique was divided into nine realms.
The first level corresponded to a First-level Demon Emperor.
And so on.
In addition to this, each realm also had corresponding attack techniques.
The strongest move was named Boundless Sea of Blood.
With this move, one could instantly kill opponents of the same realm.
It could also absorb their blood and demonic energy.
Chen Nan was very fortunate to have met Cong Zun.
And to have obtained the Blood Demon Great Law.
What if he had practiced other cultivation techniques? Wouldn't he have to start from scratch?
"Longlong, do you think I can cultivate this technique?" Chen Nan asked the Azure Dragon.
The Azure Dragon pondered for a moment, "Although few people have cultivated demon race techniques since ancient times."
"Anyone can cultivate demon race techniques."
"However."
"There is a great taboo when cultivating demon race techniques."
"You must not lose your original heart."
"Once you lose your original heart, you will become a true demon."
"At that time, you will possess the bloodthirsty and indifferent nature of the demon race."
"You will no longer be yourself."
"Therefore, you must carefully weigh the pros and cons before cultivating."
Upon hearing that cultivating demon race techniques had such severe consequences.
Chen Nan was not only unafraid.
A faint smile even appeared on his face, "If I didn't have a daughter, I certainly wouldn't dare to cultivate this technique."
"But now."
"She is my root."
"My life."
"My bloodline heritage."
"With her here, how could I lose my original nature?"
Chen Nian's appearance was like a lighthouse shining brightly in the vast ocean for Chen Nan.
No matter where he went, he could find his way home.
To take a step back.
Even if he truly became a demon, so what?
As long as he could end war with war and unify the Demon Realm.
As long as he could find the Saint Medicine to refine the Three Lives Creation Pill for his daughter.
Let alone becoming a demon,
What was there to fear even in death?
His will was firm.
His thoughts were clear.
He immediately controlled the Immortal Mansion and followed Gu Jin's demon army.
He wanted to kill ten thousand demon powerhouses.
And use their demonic energy to temper his body and lay a solid foundation.
