Chapter 547: Possessing Nine Apertures

"Such strong demonic energy!"

The five Taoist Demons, along with the Blood Robe, all gasped in shock, their eyes shining brightly!

As Taoist Demons and Demon Refiners, they were more sensitive to demonic energy than others.

However, when they saw that the demonic energy came from the yet-to-hatch demon beast egg, their shock was even greater.

Wuyang stared at the demon beast egg with a blank expression and said, "It hasn’t hatched yet, but it’s already giving off such strong evil energy. When it hatches…"

Blood Robe took over and said, "I’m afraid it will become a monster stronger than all of you, maybe even surpassing Taoist Demon Hun Tian."

Jiang Yun also heard a whimper coming from the demon beast egg.

He didn’t care about the evil energy, but sensed a feeling of sadness and reluctance in the whimper.

Obviously, even though the demon beast hadn’t hatched yet, it already had intelligence. It seemed to have chosen Jiang Yun as its master, as Clear and Murky mentioned.

Knowing it was about to part from its master, the demon beast felt reluctant.

Clear and Murky’s hands, reaching out to take the demon beast egg, froze in midair.

As a demon of the demon race and a powerful entity, feeling the evil energy emanating from the demon beast egg up close was even more shocking.

Jiang Yun touched the demon beast egg again and whispered, "Don’t worry, after you hatch, I will definitely come back to find you!"

"Whimper!"

With another whimper, Jiang Yun finally handed the demon beast egg to Clear. Clear’s hands were trembling slightly, as if unable to support the weight of the egg.

Taking a deep breath, Clear said, "It shouldn’t take too long for it to hatch. If you’re not in a hurry to leave, you might just be able to witness its birth if you stay a bit longer."

Jiang Yun also wanted to stay, but he really had no more time, so he could only shake his head and say, "No, with you and the other seniors here to take care of it, the egg will be fine."

Indeed, under the heavens, at the moment of its birth, no demon could have the protection of five Taoist Demons, one Tao Achieving Demon, and a Demon Refiner by its side…

"Alright, Clear, what is the second condition?"

Clear carefully placed the demon beast egg into his dantian, then continued, "This condition is much simpler. I need you to take care of Qin Xiaoqi for me."

Jiang Yun was surprised again, "Do you mean I have to take her back to my world?"

"No, not yet. I mean in the future," Clear shook his head, "I believe you’ve also noticed Qin Xiaoqi’s talent."

Jiang Yun remembered how Qin Xiaoqi chose the Earth Treasure for him and asked uncertainly, "Do you feel the Dao energy?"

"Yes!" Qingzhu nodded and said, "Actually, when I first saw you, I wanted to find someone who could protect her."

"Because at that time my clone was almost disintegrating, that’s why I didn’t charge you for the Earth Treasure, and also why I planned to go to Xiao Village to find you when the time comes."

"I never expected you to unlock the seal, allowing me to continue taking care of her."

"But once I leave, I truly worry about her being alone, especially with her unique talent that might bring unnecessary troubles to her!"

To be honest, Jiang Yun couldn’t see how the talent of feeling the Dao energy could cause any trouble, but he felt quite fond of Qin Xiaoqi, especially since Qin Xiaoqi’s background seemed even more pitiful than his own.

After a moment of thought, Jiang Yun nodded and promised, "As long as I can come back to this realm, I will do my best to take care of Qin Xiaoqi!"

Jiang Yun’s promise made Qingzhu’s face light up with a relieved smile and said, "Whenever you are ready, I can send you back to your world at any time!"

"Elder, do you know how many people you can send at once?"

"If it’s a demon, I can send more, but if it’s humans like you, I can only send two at a time!"

This answer made Jiang Yun feel a bit disappointed. He had wanted to find Tang Yi and the others to go back to Mountain-Sea World together.

After thinking for a bit, Jiang Yun unwillingly asked, "What if I put other people into the artifact, is that possible?"

Clear Murk shook his head and said, "No! Unless they are corpses, as long as they are alive, they count in the number."

With this, Jiang Yun felt completely hopeless and could only force a smile, saying, "It looks like it will just be me and Guan Yiming leaving together. But senior, if you happen to meet my fellow disciples, please take care of them."

"That’s not difficult. Just tell me what they look like, and I’ll keep an eye out for them."

"Okay!"

Using his spiritual energy, Jiang Yun transformed the appearance of all his fellow disciples from the Seeking-Tao Sect, even recalling the faces of Xiao Zheng and the disciples from the Grand Medicine Sect.

After doing all this, Jiang Yun temporarily bid farewell to Clear Murk. Before leaving, he still needed to go and meet with Blood Robe and the others.

When Jiang Yun returned to the Demon’s Tao Conferment Bamboo Slip, Blood Robe and the others were waiting for him. Jiang Yun walked up to the six of them, clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.

Without Blood Robe and the others, Jiang Yun wouldn’t have reached his current level of understanding.

As they bid farewell today, Jiang Yun wasn’t sure if he would see them again in the future, so he wanted to thank them.

After the six of them accepted Jiang Yun’s bow, Blood Robe signaled for the other five to step back.

When only the two of them were left, Blood Robe spoke up, "Jiang Yun, I know you have many questions about this world, but there are some answers I cannot give you because your power is still weak."

Jiang Yun nodded, feeling curious but also eager to return to the Mountain-Sea World and not seeking answers at the moment.

"However, there are some things I can tell you, like how much do you know about demons?"

Jiang Yun was caught off guard by Blood Robe’s sudden question!

Despite being a Demon Refiner and having a Taoist Demon body, Jiang Yun’s knowledge of demons was limited. Most of what he knew came from Bai Ze.

Fortunately, Blood Robe obviously didn’t expect Jiang Yun to answer, but continued, "Actually, there is no difference between demons and humans. It’s just that the path of cultivation for demons is more difficult than for humans!"

"Although everything in the world has a spirit and can embark on cultivation, apart from humans, other creatures must first possess nine apertures to cultivate!"

"Nine apertures?"

Jiang Yun naturally knew what the nine apertures were; besides the seven orifices, there were also the urinary tract and the valley orifice. He just didn’t understand the meaning behind Blood Robe’s words.

"Yes, nine apertures. Humans have nine apertures, animals have nine apertures, but many other things in the world do not, such as trees, mountains, rocks, wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning!"

"Therefore, if they want to cultivate, to become demons, they must first possess nine apertures, which means cultivating a substantive body!"

Jiang Yun had never heard of Blood Robe’s explanation before.

However, he could vaguely understand that Blood Robe was explaining as a Demon Refiner to himself!

"If you want to help something become a demon, help it develop nine apertures. If you want to seal a demon, then seal its nine apertures!"

"With your current abilities, you can’t use the Evil Suppression Seal yet, but I do have a way to seal some acupoints!"

"Before we part ways, I don’t have anything to give you, so I will tell you about this method and how to open the acupoints!"

"I believe this will help you when you face challenges after returning!"
