Chapter 2295 Frostleaf's Deal
“All cultivators yearn to become stronger, and I am no exception,” said the Frost Leaf Grand Master softly. “This sadist died at the height of his power, yet his brain core remains vibrant. He is a rare and unique specimen, and I wish to observe him closely.”
He mentioned earlier that he enjoys collecting unique pieces.
He Lingchuan glanced at him.
Doesn't the Frostleaf Grand Preceptor have one himself?
One brain nucleus isn't enough for him?
Frostleaf continued, "This sadist was born in the Middle Ages and devoured countless creatures in 'Ain City' within ten days of its birth, including even the offspring of dragons and more than ten immortals, thus possessing almost heaven-shattering power."
The ancient city that suffered from cannibalism was originally called Ain.
He Lingchuan then followed up by asking, "Why did the Jindu Ghost Mother choose this city to give birth to her child?"
"In fact, at that time, Ayin City was a large city under the rule of the Western Dragon Clan. It was peaceful and prosperous, so many immortal sects also moved their bases here. Because of the Dragon God, the Dragon Clan's prestige reached its peak in the early Middle Ages, and they firmly occupied the faith of mankind. If they had continued to be powerful, mankind would not have worshipped the gods."
He Lingchuan's brow twitched; he understood.
If humans do not believe in the Heavenly Demon, it will be difficult for the latter to cause trouble and instigate wars in the human world.
Only when the local gods decline or disappear can foreign demons seize faith and cultivate followers.
As the old saying goes, when the true god disappears, the false god has a place.
"The attack on Ain City was a meticulously planned operation. It is said that the Western Plains Dragon Clan was away on a campaign, leaving only a white dragon to guard the city. The three dragon eggs preserved in the city were devoured by the sadists during the attack. This severely weakened the Western Plains Dragon Clan."
The dragon race's reproductive ability was already poor, and with the concentration of spiritual energy in heaven and earth decreasing, they lost three offspring.
"The surrounding immortal sects rushed to besiege and kill him, but this sadist still managed to escape from Ayin City. However, he was already seriously injured, and the immortals of Yuanshan took advantage of him at the last moment."
This differs slightly from Qianhuan Zhenren's oral account, but ancient legends always have some differences in details. He Lingchuan laughed, "Since this sadistic predator is so powerful, wouldn't it be troublesome for me to give you its brain core?"
If this guy gets the Golden Core, will Wei'an City become the second Ain City?
The strangest thing is that, given Shuangye's shrewdness, why would she reveal everything? The more extraordinary the origin of the golden core, the less willing He Lingchuan would be to give it to her.
"Since you know about sadists, you should also have heard that the period of power surge for sadists is only within ten days of birth." There was a faint sigh in Shuangye's voice. "The power of sadists lies mainly in their bodies rather than their brain cores. Besides, more than three thousand years have passed. Even if there is still power left in the golden core, how much could be left?"
He Lingchuan shifted his gaze slightly.
Yes, a cannibal can increase its power limit indefinitely by gorging itself within the first ten days after birth; this is its golden growth period.
After that, even if their abilities continue to grow, it won't be a leap forward.
He Lingchuan had heard Mi Tian tell him this secret in the Panlong World, so he knew that Shuangye was not lying.
He was born in the Demon Nest Swamp, where he devoured far fewer people than the owner of the Golden Core, and naturally, the power he gained within the first ten days of his life was also less. However, that sadistic predator lived for a very short time, while Frostleaf, despite his humble origins, eventually ascended to the position of Grand Preceptor of the Northern Demon Kingdom.
How did a sadistic predator end up like this? In He Lingchuan's view, Frost Leaf was far more terrifying than the owner of this golden core.
"Look at how the Qixia Sect uses the Golden Core as a magical artifact. Every time it's used, it consumes the power within. It nourishes this mountain and fights against the power of your nation, but it's almost exhausted," Shuangye said leisurely. "No matter who gets this Golden Core, even if it's another sadist, even if it can absorb the remaining power within, it won't be able to make rapid progress. As the Lord of Cangyan, are you afraid of this?"
He Lingchuan smiled too; he was indeed not afraid.
More than ten years ago, he would have gone out of his way to avoid Shuangye and would never have handed over the golden core; but now the world is in turmoil, and immortals and demons are emerging in Cangyan. Which one of them can cause little trouble?
Apart from the Great Heavenly Demons and True Immortals, the martial prowess of an individual is utterly insignificant in the face of a nation of this size.
"Then what use is it to you?"
“This sadist didn’t live long, but I have a way of seeing its power growth process and development.” Frostleaf pointed to the ground, her face full of sincerity.
He Lingchuan laughed: "Do sadists need to learn?"
Frosty Leaf said calmly, "Humans learn from their predecessors when cultivating, and I guess sadists are no exception, right? It's just that they are different from humans, and it's hard for them to find another one of their kind."
His kind refers not to ordinary Japanese devils.
He Lingchuan astutely grasped a key point:
A sadist's growth also requires continuous learning, at least for Frostleaf.
After being enlightened by the Emperor's Flowing Essence, birds, beasts, flowers, insects, and fish naturally know how to cultivate. This is a talent written in their bloodline, a blessing bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. Only humans need to explore on their own.
Gods are not human beings, and sadists, as so-called "children of gods," receive no favor from this world and can only improve through learning.
Furthermore, it is neither human nor demon, nor monster, and has almost no kind of creature.
So, how did Shuangye learn over the past hundred years?
The only object that He Lingchuan could think of was a human.
His maturity and cunning truly surpassed that of his predecessors.
Tell me about your trades.
The Blood Demon Cloak on her body snarled in He Lingchuan's ear: "Hey, are you really going to give him the Golden Core?"
Even a demon god covered in blood and filth like it felt it was inappropriate to hand over the golden core to a sadist and the national advisor of an enemy country.
He Lingchuan ignored it and simply reached out to pour wine for Shuangye.
The stone bed he carved out was large and flat, much like a round dining table in the countryside.
Shuangye and Helingchuan were separated by an arm's length.
If the two of them reached out, they could grab each other's shoulders.
If this scene had occurred more than ten years ago, when He Lingchuan had just taken over the Yangshan Islands, it would have been his most terrifying nightmare.
But now, it's his turn to consider whether to seize the opportunity and take Frostleaf. That idea is quite appealing.
Shuangye, however, seemed completely unaware of his plans. Instead, she pressed her arms against the stone behind her to support her body, appearing quite relaxed.
"Not long ago, two celestial beings successfully achieved a complete divine descent on the experimental island in Fu Kingdom. You know about this, right?"
He Lingchuan nodded: "I've heard a little about it."
Shuangye chuckled lightly: "As expected of the Nine Nether Emperor, his eyes and ears have spread throughout both realms."
