I Become a Martial Arts God in the Chaotic Demon World
Chapter 391 - 391 The Real Plan of Black Mountain Demon

Han Zheng still believed in Yan Xuankong's insights, since he had also experienced big storms.

It was imaginable how big Black Mountain Demon's plan was, since even Yan Xuankong was shocked.

"Old Yan, stop being mysterious. What did you figure out? What exactly does Black Mountain Demon want to do?"

Yan Xuankong spoke solemnly, "If I'm not mistaken, Black Mountain Demon wants to be reborn from his old self, transforming his demon body!"

Han Zheng was startled, "Transforming his demon body? Has Black Mountain Demon gone mad?"

Talent is bestowed by nature, only then is it a true talent.

Human talent is innate, and trying to rebuild one's body to change one's talent is simply against the nature.

Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Pill Method is so precious, as it is one of the rare methods that can change one's own talent and reshape the body.

Even so, the conditions for the Heavenly Demon Pill Method are extremely stringent, and very few people can successfully cultivate it.

The conditions for human warriors to be reborn are harsh, let alone for demons.

Demons value their own talents even more, and lower ranked demon clans almost always remain lower ranked.

For a demon to be reborn and reshape its body is almost more difficult than a fish turning into a dragon.

"Black Mountain Demon isn't mad. I previously underestimated it,"

Yan Xuankong sighed and said, "Among the Four Great Demon Kings of the Southern Mountain, Black Mountain Demon was the weakest, but this weakness wasn't caused by itself but due to its origin which doomed it to not be very strong.

Although it self-proclaimed itself as Black Mountain, that was merely to glorify itself.

Its true form is actually a black rock that gained spiritual awareness from absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, and during a coincidental opportunity, it bathed in demon blood amidst other demons' fighting, gaining flesh and blood, only then could it transform into a demon.

Thus, the true form of the Black Mountain Demon is just an ordinary black rock, it doesn't even count as a rare material, it's a rock so irregular that even house builders would disdain using it.

Yet, Black Mountain Demon has cultivated from such a humble origin all the way to its current state, becoming one of the Four Great Demon Kings, which has already been quite difficult.

However, cultivating to the Demon King level was already its limit; beyond that realm are territories only accessible to inherited demons.

At that realm, they can't even be called demons anymore, but members of the demon clan.

For example, the Qingqiu lineage of the Myriad Demon Nation, they belong to this noble-blooded demon clan.

Such demon clans are very particular, even when eating humans they are selective, ordinary people are even disdained as not worth eating.

What Black Mountain Demon wants to do now is to completely transform itself, turning its original black rock form into a golden mountain!

I had felt it strange before why Black Mountain Demon wanted to collect so much gold, silver, and copper coins, and now I understand.

In Southern Mountain, there are four places where the spiritual energy of nature is abundant, each representing one of earth, water, fire, and wind attributes.

Earth, water, fire, and wind transform into the origin power of the world, and Black Mountain Demon intends to use this origin power to refine the gold, silver, and copper coins, extract the golden essence from them, and incorporate it into its body, fully transforming its body into a golden mountain!

Of the four places rich in spiritual energy in Southern Mountain, the Refining Blade handles Fire Cloud Valley, which is also the reason for such exuberant Earth Vein Fire there.

Wind corresponds to Gale Valley, and water to the Heavy Water Cold Pool of Cold Water Bai Family.

As for earth, it is located inside the Great Compassion Temple, named the Bottomless Cave, a cave so deep that its bottom cannot be probed, where underground demons often emerge.

This is somewhat similar to Gale Valley, but the demons that come out here are much more powerful than the stone creatures in Gale Valley.

Over the years, the Bottomless Cave has always been under the garrison of the Great Compassion Temple, the disciples of the temple seldom step into the Martial World yet have strong combat experience, honed within this Bottomless Cave."

Han Zheng's expression changed slightly after listening.

"According to what you've said, then Black Mountain Demon's plan is nearly successful now.

Bu Tiange forcefully broke into the Refining Blade, has already successfully refined the golden essence, and sent it over to Black Mountain Demon.

"We arrived too late at Gale Valley; the Daoist Luo already completed the transmission of the Golden Origin.

As for the Heavy Water Cold Pool of the Cold Water Bai Family, I now feel that Bai Chengwen has long been in collusion with the Black Mountain Demon. We have all been deceived by that old bastard Bai Chengwen!"

Han Zheng's expression grew somber.

These aged immortals, none of them were simple.

Bai Chengwen's previously portrayed righteousness and profound scheming, even the cruelty he showed towards his own family, were all a performance.

His aim was merely to make Han Zheng believe that he was not colluding with the Black Mountain Demon, making it seem like only Bai Songyuan was in collusion—thereby lowering the vigilance of the Demon Suppression Department.

Previously, Han Zheng only suspected that Bai Chengwen had motives to collude with the Black Mountain Demon; now it seemed that the collusion might have been happening for quite some time.

Bai Songyuan was also a fool, hoping to leverage the Black Mountain Demon to contend for the position of Family Head, not realizing that his every move was a trap set by others!

"Gale Valley, Refining Blade, Cold Water Bai Family—the Black Mountain Demon's plan is already three-quarters complete. I fear it is mostly disastrous for the Great Compassion Temple as well."

Yan Xuankong sighed, "The Black Mountain Demon doesn't take action often, but when he does, it's earth-shattering. There must also be arrangements at the Great Compassion Temple.

In recent times, the rising demon chaos in Southern Mountain was also a smokescreen laid down by the Black Mountain Demon to prevent the Demon Suppression Department from discovering his true intentions.

His secret technique of transforming with the foundational powers of earth, water, wind, and fire was discovered in an ancient relic, which both the Black Mountain Demon and I had entered previously.

I hadn't taken it seriously at first; who would have thought the Black Mountain Demon would actually proceed with it one day."

"What would be the consequences if the Black Mountain Demon actually succeeds in this endeavor?"

Yan Xuankong coldly laughed, "Obviously, a Demon Emperor would rise within the territory of Great Zhou! He might even have the potential to reach the ultimate realm of the Demon Clan and ascend as a Demon Saint!

But the price will be that all the nature's spiritual energy of Southern Mountain will be drained by the Black Mountain Demon.

Then, Southern Mountain might continuously face natural disasters—floods, droughts one after another, imbalance of spiritual energy, the common people suffering terribly, and it might even take hundreds of years to recover.

Young Han Zheng, there is no time left.

Abbot Pu Du of Great Compassion Temple surely won't choose to collude with the Black Mountain Demon, but I cannot be sure about the other monks.

After all, the monks of the Great Compassion Temple have had prior offenses, and many of them lack purity.

Moreover, since the Black Mountain Demon has taken action, there must surely be an extremely detailed plan in place at the Great Compassion Temple.

You don't even have time to return to the Resonating Demon Department; you must go to the Great Compassion Temple immediately to stop this disaster."

Han Zheng asked in disbelief, "You're actually not telling me to flee?"

Given Yan Xuankong's character of fearing death, he should have encouraged Han Zheng to flee Southern Mountain at the first opportunity, yet he was urging him to go to the Great Compassion Temple to turn the tide.

Yan Xuankong was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled bitterly, "I've been the Garrison Commander of Southern Mountain for decades, but to speak frankly, I only saw it as a stepping stone, which is why I oppressed and plundered there—to gather resources for cultivation, hoping to one day take charge of the Capital City Demon Suppression Department.

But it was only after coming out from that hellish Thousand Buddha Village that I realized, a place where you've lived for decades still endears you.

If the Black Mountain Demon succeeds, Southern Mountain will be destroyed.

Young Han Zheng, although I don't want to see Southern Mountain destroyed, I also don't want you to go to your death.

You and I have already formed a binding contract; if you die, I cannot live either.

If you do go, and you really stop the Black Mountain Demon, it would be a monumental feat, enough even to support you entering the headquarters of the Capital Demon Suppression Department for advanced studies.

But going there is also fraught with danger; who knows what the Black Mountain Demon has arranged at the Great Compassion Temple.

If you decide not to go and choose to flee now, I can find you a legitimate excuse to escape punishment; no one understands the hidden rules of the Demon Suppression Department better than I do.

So, whether to go or not, the choice is yours."

Han Zheng smiled and said, "Old Yan, having been with me for so long, you surely understand me, so there's no need for reverse psychology.

I've always sought fortune amidst danger; when have I ever backed down?"
