The demon body explained as it galloped.
"I met the Scorpion Lady in Yellow Sand City. If she couldn't make it in Dark Night City, she might have returned to Yellow Sand City."
Xu Chunniang said without comment, "Then let's go to Huangsha City and take a look."
Huangsha City is adjacent to Dark Night City. With Xu Chunniang's current speed of escape, it only took her one day to reach Huangsha City.
The demon stood on the tall city wall, and the vast desire spread from all over the city, sweeping every corner.
Finally, when the evil thoughts swept to an inconspicuous place in the inner city, the evil mind moved, "There!"
The next moment, the demon body disappeared from the spot and sneaked into the inner city silently.
"Scorpion woman."
The Scorpion Woman suddenly opened her eyes, awakened from her meditation, and pushed the door open to go out.
When she saw the person coming, she had a flash of surprise in her eyes and bowed to Xu Chunniang, "Sir, you finally found me!"
The demon body chuckled and glanced at the Scorpion Woman's new body, "Not bad, you actually broke through to the Void Refining Stage."
The scorpion woman blushed slightly, lowered her head and said, “My body is not very good, and I have been practicing for more than ten years before I barely made it to the Void Refining Stage.
Speaking of which, my fourth body was wiped out of consciousness and refined into a puppet, with only a few instincts left. I have to thank you for saving me from the puppet body."
"It's just something that comes handy."
The demon body waved his hand, "Do you remember how you were made into a puppet?"
The Scorpion Woman tried to recall, "One night, my soul was attacked and I passed out. When I woke up again, I was already trapped in the puppet's body."
After listening to the Scorpion Woman's story, the demon body casually sent out a demonic thought, leaving a mark deep in the Scorpion Woman's soul.
"I will help you advance to the fusion stage as soon as possible and become the lord of Huangsha City."
The Scorpion Woman's heart trembled, she raised her head and looked straight at Xu Chunniang, then quickly lowered her head.
"What price will I have to pay?"
The demon body raised his eyebrows, very satisfied with the scorpion woman's tact, "After becoming the Demon King, you need to pass the test of the Demon King and go to the Spirit Demon Island."
"Spirit and Demon Island? Is it the place that is said to open only once every ten thousand years and can be reached by cultivators from both the spirit and demon worlds?"
The scorpion woman showed a difficult expression on her face. "Let's not talk about how difficult it is for me to become the lord of Huangsha City. Each Demon King has more than a dozen Demon Kings under his rule. If you want to stand out among so many Demon Kings and be noticed by the Demon King, the chances are very slim."
"Don't worry, I will help you. With me here, you will naturally be able to gain the Demon Emperor's approval. When you enter the Spirit Demon Island, you can bring two followers with you. I want the quota for these two followers."
The Scorpion Woman nodded, and the next moment, she saw a fresh corpse appear in front of her. The face looked vaguely familiar, as if she had seen it far away somewhere in the city.
She suddenly enlarged her eyes a little, "Sir, what is this?"
"A corpse in the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, whose spirit and soul are not yet completely dead, the sooner we refine it, the greater the benefits we will gain."
The demon body paused for a moment and looked towards the Scorpion Woman.
"From today on, I will provide you with the resources you need for cultivation. Remember what I said, break through to the Fusion Stage as soon as possible, and then you will be qualified to help me."
The Scorpion Woman knelt on one knee and kowtowed solemnly to Xu Chunniang, "Don't worry, sir. I will definitely work hard to practice and will never let you down!"
The demon nodded slightly, too lazy to find another place to live. After looking around the Scorpion Woman's residence, he occupied the main courtyard openly and set up a barrier in the courtyard.
When her cultivation reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the amount of demonic energy from the outside world had almost no effect on her.
As long as one can withstand the forty-nine tribulations of the transition period, one can successfully advance to the Mahayana period.
After setting up the barrier, the demon body seemed to be thinking about something.
"You deliberately didn't let our two souls merge together, just to disperse the disaster to two bodies when the disaster strikes?"
"good."
Xu Chunniang admitted frankly, "You and I were originally separated from one body. Your cultivation is comparable to mine, so naturally we can merge into one at the right time.
Although we have not yet completely merged and our spirits and souls have completely merged together, in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, we are one person."
The demon body stopped talking. She had never imagined that the original body could think of this way to disperse the risks during the tribulation period.
But I have to say that this is a good method. Both the original body and the demon body can benefit from it.
"When did you come up with this idea?"
“When you were using the sun and moon to temper your body, I discovered that spiritual energy and demonic energy could be transformed into each other using vital energy as a medium, and this idea came to me.
Anyway, there are still hundreds of years before the start of the Spirit Demon Island. If I can get through the Tribulation Period before entering the Spirit Demon Island, I can kill everyone after entering the Spirit Demon Island."
As she spoke, Xu Chunniang blinked her eyes. "Spirit Demon Island has existed since ancient times. It is said that the island hides the secret of becoming a true demon or a true immortal. Aren't you curious?"
Of course she was curious!
The demon body gritted her teeth unwillingly. Ever since she learned of the existence of the Spirit Demon Island, she regarded the possible opportunity to become a true demon there as something within her grasp.
But what she didn't expect was that the seemingly law-abiding original body was actually more daring than her!
She actually dared to use her spiritual body to hide in the demon world by borrowing her demon body, and took advantage of the loopholes in the way of heaven.
The demon rubbed his face, feeling a rare sense of frustration, and then secretly laughed. Why was she competing with him
If the original body had not transformed all the spiritual energy into vital energy and poured it all into her body, it would have been impossible for her to break through the fusion stage in a short period of time by herself.
"Then for the next few hundred years, I will secretly support the Scorpion Woman to become the Demon King of Yellow Sand City, and respond to the calamity at the same time."
"In addition, you also need to master the method of converting demonic energy into vital energy, and strive to convert all the demonic energy in your body into vital energy as soon as possible."
At this point, Xu Chunniang paused for a moment and said, "Of course, if you are not sure, I can show you my memory."
The demon body is split from the main body. The main body can detect the demon body's memories and experiences at any time. Conversely, the main body, memories and experiences cannot be detected at will.
"No need, I already have a clue. It's only a matter of time to transform the demonic energy into vital energy."
The demon body coldly rejected Xu Chunniang's proposal. When she was chasing the sun, the sunlight would strip the demonic energy in her body into vital energy every day. If she wanted to achieve her goal, she only needed to restore this step.
"Okay, in that case, I'll be busy now. Don't bother me if you have nothing else to do."
Having said that, Xu Chunniang calmed down completely. She used the vitality in the demon's body to transform it into various threads of laws, which she wrapped into a small ball of laws, and then sealed it with the law of confinement.
In this way, this small ball of law formed the gray round bead that she had used before to deal with the Demon Emperor.
