Chapter 1 The First Level of Cultivation
The first level of cultivation was relatively easy to get started with, as Yang Feilong’s soul realm was far beyond the minimum standard required for the first level of the Soul Manipulation technique.
In just a few minutes, he had already grasped the cultivation method of the first level!
Although it was just a basic understanding, controlling two demons whose souls were far inferior to his own was incredibly simple.
Buzz!
With a single thought from Yang Feilong, his powerful soul forcefully invaded the souls within the Niwan Palaces of the two demons.
In fact, even without the Soul Manipulation technique, it was relatively easy to invade the souls of cultivators whose soul realms were much lower than one's own. However, without the Soul Manipulation technique, there was no way to control them; at most, one could forcefully search their souls or directly destroy them.
Searching a soul would result in the victim becoming an idiot, while forcefully destroying it meant the body would live but the soul would perish.
Of course, there were also some soul control methods, but many of them turned the controlled targets into mere puppets.
The Soul Manipulation technique, however, was different. The cultivator appeared no different from ordinary beings, but their hearts were completely loyal to their master.
Before long, both demons were successfully controlled by Yang Feilong!
"Your subordinate, greets master." The next moment, the two demons knelt on the ground and respectfully saluted Yang Feilong with utmost piety.
Watching the two demons, who had been so defiant just moments ago, now bowing respectfully to Yang Feilong, Wulan Xiowei, who had been observing from the side, was stunned. What had happened? What had her man done?
"En?" Yang Feilong's eyes flickered.
Although the words spoken by the two demons were still in the demon language, he could understand them.
The reason he understood was that he could perceive the fluctuations of their souls.
This made Yang Feilong’s heart leap with joy. This way, he would soon be able to learn the demon language of the demon realm. While the demons spoke their own language, he could understand their meaning through soul fluctuations. It was difficult for ordinary people to remember the demon language, but Yang Feilong was not ordinary!
Next, Yang Feilong asked the two demons to explain the relevant situation, while he acted as a translator for Wulan Xiowei.
This left Wulan Xiowei in awe of Yang Feilong's abilities. Her man was truly amazing. He had only been in the demon realm for a short while, and he was already so proficient in the demon language, and could even speak it. Could this be related to some technique he had just learned? But it shouldn’t be this fast!
Of course, Yang Feilong didn't say anything, and Wulan Xiowei wouldn't ask.
Through the descriptions of the two demons, Yang Feilong and Wulan Xiowei learned the reason behind it!
The place they were in belonged to the Vira Empire. The highest ruler of the Vira Empire was the Purple Gold Demon Dragon Vira Wubing, who was a Purple Gold Demon Dragon. The Vira Empire had thirty-six provinces, and the rulers of these thirty-six provinces were either princesses or princes, or some powerful Void Refinement realm demon kings (devil kings) or Integration realm great demon kings (great devil kings).
Integration realm cultivators were generally referred to as Demon Emperors or Devil Emperors, but in the Vira Empire, to distinguish them from the supreme ruler, the Vira Demon Dragon Emperor, they were instead called Great Demon Kings or Great Devil Kings!
The place they were located was called Kirin Province, and the highest ruler of Kirin Province was the Seventh Princess, Vira Duoduo.
The Seventh Princess was a powerful existence in the Void Refinement realm!
Beneath Kirin Province were numerous county cities, and the rulers of each county city were in the Nascent Soul realm. Nascent Soul realm demons were considered lords in the Vira Empire.
Each county city, in turn, had many towns under its jurisdiction. The rulers of these towns were called commanders, or sometimes county lords. These commanders (county lords) were all in the Golden Core realm.
Each commander had numerous generals under their command. These generals were called demon generals or devil generals, collectively referred to as generals, and their cultivation was in the Golden Core realm!
These generals governed a county.
Under each general, there were many captains, who were appointed from demons in the Innate realm. The two demons Yang Feilong controlled, one named Reed and the other named Page, were both captains!
Reed was from the Flame Wolf lineage, and Page was from the Tusker Boar lineage.
The county city they were currently in was called Hundred Bamboo County, and its commander was the Three-Eyed Crow, a late-stage Nascent Soul realm beast.
The reason they were drawn here by a powerful suction force was that the Three-Eyed Crow had set up an altar near the demon passage. This altar could pull in cultivators who approached the demon passage.
Upon hearing the words of the two demons, the two of them finally understood why the previous four people had been sucked into the demon realm. It was all due to the altar.
The altar was only tens of miles away from here, and Reed and Page also mentioned that if they were delayed for too long, other captains, no, generals, might come looking for them soon!
This was because they had previously brought seven or eight captains, and only these two remained.
Furthermore, these two captains were both in the Innate realm, and were even among the strongest captains. If they couldn't handle the situation, other captains would be of no use, so any reinforcements would definitely be Golden Core realm captains!
As expected.
As soon as they had briefly described the situation, two powerful auras swept towards them.
Wulan Xiowei’s expression turned serious. “The aura is so strong, they should be Golden Core realm demon generals!”
In the demon realm, both she and Yang Feilong were subject to a certain degree of suppression. Of course, it couldn’t be called suppression; it was more like the environment was somewhat repellent to them, as they did not cultivate demonic energy or monster energy.
Wulan Xiowei could handle some top-tier Innate realm demons, but when it came to Golden Core realm demons, she was truly helpless in the demon realm.
“Reed, Page, what are you doing? Why are you kneeling to these two humans?” one of the demon generals, a sheep-headed humanoid, roared.
“Two pieces of trash!” the other demon general, a wolf-headed humanoid, cursed.
In the demon realm, some powerful demons walked and conducted business in their human forms. Sometimes, they even fought in their human forms. Humans were the rulers of all beings, and this was not just a mere saying.
However, Golden Core realm existences could only maintain a human form with a beast head.
But by the Nascent Soul realm, demons could maintain a human form for extended periods.
Of course, during combat, demons achieved their best fighting power when they reverted to their true forms.
The reason these two demons immediately recognized Yang Feilong and Wulan Xiowei as humans was simple: neither of them had any trace of demonic aura on them. Only true humans in the demon realm lacked demonic aura.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The next moment, the sheep-headed demon general lunged towards Yang Feilong!
The wolf-headed demon general also attacked Wulan Xiowei!
Boom! Boom!
These two demon generals were not ordinary Golden Core realm cultivators. Wulan Xiowei couldn't deal with them, but Yang Feilong directly threw two punches, sending both demon generals flying back, spitting blood.
Bang! Bang!
Terror and shock appeared in the eyes of both demon generals.
They clearly hadn't expected their commander to have summoned such a powerful human.
The next moment, the two demon generals moved to flee, but Yang Feilong’s imposing pressure descended, and the two demons immediately prostrated themselves on the ground.
“Human, be sensible and let us go!”
“Our commander will surely come looking for you when he sees we are late! You’d best flee quickly!”
The two demons roared.
Yang Feilong ignored their threats and directly activated the Soul Manipulation technique, controlling these two demon generals.
Although these two demon generals were both in the Golden Core realm, just like Yang Feilong, their souls were much weaker than his. As for their strength, there was no comparison. Even though Yang Feilong's combat power was somewhat weakened in the demon realm, it was still not something that two Golden Core realm demons could contend with.
