Chapter 198 Dream of a Past Life (4)
So many questions were troubling her; Yun Zhao felt like she was turning into a walking encyclopedia of questions.
"Forget it," Yun Zhao closed his eyes, "Let's deal with whatever comes our way."
The next day, Yun Zhao woke up with a splitting headache. She frowned and rubbed her head.
It hurts so much, and it seems like something is disappearing from her mind.
But what it was, she didn't know.
Having finally gotten through that headache, Yun Zhao was almost covered in a cold sweat. She cast a cleansing spell to clean herself up.
Let her think about what she should do.
Yun Zhao tapped her head and remembered that she had just been born and had been invited to the Demon Village by the invocation ceremony last night.
She tilted her head to look at Yun Xiaohua, who was still sleeping. "This child is from the place where I was born. She seems to have some connection with me. What is Yun Xiaohua's name? Who named her?"
"Hmm, the demon race values single characters, so let's call her 'Blood' and Little Flower will be her nickname."
Yun Zhao happily changed her name.
When she went out, Village Chief Shiyan was already waiting in the courtyard. Upon seeing her come out, he hurriedly came forward to greet her.
"My Lord Demon God, how are you staying? This place is far too simple and unworthy of you."
“I am indeed not worthy,” Yun Zhao frowned and said, “but it’s alright to stay for a while. By the way, from now on, call me ‘Your Excellency’.”
Although the village chief was surprised that Yun Zhao was somewhat different from yesterday, he still readily agreed and changed his tune: "Yes, Your Excellency."
Afterwards, Village Chief Shiyan took her on a tour of the Demon Village. Seeing that none of the villagers showed any signs of cultivation, Yun Zhao frowned.
"You haven't cultivated?"
Village Chief Shiyan had wanted to ask what cultivation was yesterday, but the tiger beast suddenly appeared, and she forgot to ask.
Seeing that Yun Zhao brought it up again, she asked, "Your Excellency, what is cultivation?"
Yun Zhao opened his mouth, but found it a bit complicated, so he simply used his divine sense to copy the knowledge about cultivation and passed it on to Village Chief Shiyan.
Suddenly, many unknown things flooded his mind. Village Chief Shiyan struggled to digest them, and it took him a long time to understand what "cultivation" really was.
The village chief, Shiyan, asked piously, "Your Excellency, is it possible to defeat magical beasts simply by cultivating?"
"of course."
After thinking for a moment, Yun Zhao added, "Cultivation also has different levels, such as Qi Induction, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, etc. Generally, you can't beat those with higher levels than you."
"All of this is in the divine consciousness replica I transmitted to you. Once you are familiar with it, you will know everything."
Along with the cultivation techniques, Yun Zhao also passed them on, though he was too lazy to teach her personally.
The village chief, Shiyan, was overjoyed. After asking Yun Zhao, she had someone else show Yun Zhao around the demon village while she went to study.
Yun Zhao considered using his divine sense to transmit knowledge about cultivation to everyone, but then he changed his mind and gave up.
This method of learning is not suitable for everyone. If you do it incorrectly, you might get overwhelmed by a flood of information and lose your senses.
Let's learn slowly, since we already have Chief Shiyan as our teacher.
As expected of the village chief, Shi Yan, the village chief, mastered all the knowledge in just one month and successfully guided Qi into his body.
Afterwards, the village chief Shiyan slowly taught the others, and Yun Zhao, bored, went outside the protective wall to hunt monsters.
The monsters are ferocious. Although getting close to the protective wall will weaken their strength, they are still beyond the resistance of demons without any cultivation.
The demons occasionally manage to hunt a few, and these are their main source of meat; that's all they have.
Even if the demon race is small, there are still hundreds of thousands of them. This is naturally not enough to go around, so the children have to be fed first, while the adults eat staple foods and vegetables.
Yun Zhao went out during the day and fought a lot, and returned at night dragging a string of monsters with him.
"eat."
Her words were concise and to the point, a single word that made the demons worship her.
In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years have passed, and many cultivators have emerged in the Demon Village and the four major realms.
Little Yun Xiaohua has grown into a graceful young lady. Compared to the noble and powerful name "Xue" (Blood), Yun Xiaohua prefers her nickname.
"Sister, sister, sister--"
As soon as Yun Zhao heard someone call her "sister," she knew that Yun Xiaohua had arrived.
Sure enough, Yun Xiaohua pushed open a crack and peeked in, "Sister, may I come in?"
Yun Zhao discreetly hid the storybook. "Come in."
Yun Xiaohua pretended not to see her actions and said with a smile, "Sister, a new bookstore has opened in the east of the city. Shall we go take a look?"
Yun Zhao became interested. "What books do you have?"
"The shopkeeper said that they have everything you like, including the comic books I want to read."
"Oh, by the way, a hot pot restaurant opened next to the bookstore. I heard it's an improved version of your recipe, sister, and it tastes quite unique. Let's go try it!"
Yun Xiaohua chattered away, piquing Yun Zhao's interest.
"That sounds good. I've been dealing with official business all morning anyway, so it's nice to relax a bit."
Yun Xiaohua: "..."
Why don't you take a look at all the official business you haven't handled before you talk?
However, as her sister's most loyal servant, how could Yun Xiaohua expose her shortcomings?
She smiled and said, "Sister, you've worked hard. Let's hand over the rest of the official business to Granny Yan while we're at it. You should take a rest."
Yun Zhao nodded decisively.
The village chief, who had just increased his workload, was speechless.
Oh well, what can I do? She's so talented, has such high cultivation, and is still going strong even in her old age; she has more energy than many young people.
Yun Zhao oversaw the construction of the imperial city. Over the years, she has traveled extensively, bringing the Demon Realm under control and exploring almost the entire Demon Realm.
Especially in the imperial city, Yun Zhao could find the location of every shop even with his eyes closed.
The two newly opened shops were indeed quite nice and caught Yun Zhao's attention, but after a few days, she lost interest.
At this moment, someone discovered a passage, but no one knew where it led.
Yun Zhao went over to investigate and discovered that the other side might be the cultivation world, which is the territory of the human race.
"Sister, are you going to the human realm? Is it dangerous there?"
Yun Zhao thought for a moment, "There shouldn't be any danger, right? I'm not going there to play. Xiao Hua, do you know about the recent disappearance of many members of our clan?"
“Of course I know,” Yun Xiaohua nodded. “At first, it was just a few people who went missing, but later even an entire village and town went missing.”
She thought for a moment and guessed, "Sister, do you mean they might have gone to the cultivation world?"
Don't be fooled by Yun Xiaohua's innocent and naive demeanor in front of Yun Zhao; outside, she is the Blood Protector under the Demon God.
“Yes,” Yun Zhao nodded seriously, “I sensed not only spiritual energy on the other side of the passage, but also demonic energy.”
"The passage appears at unpredictable times and locations, and can appear anytime and anywhere. It is very likely that our clansmen have been drawn into it."
Yun Zhao wasn't too worried about the safety of his clansmen. Most demons were fierce and warlike, and as long as they didn't encounter any powerful figures, the cultivators of the immortal realm couldn't do anything to them.
