132 Jinwus circumstances. (1/2)
Both Li Yang and Fang Ying raised an eyebrow when they heard Zhao Feng's statement. The two shared a short look before Li Yang rubbed his chin lightly, giving a somewhat surprised exclamation.
”Two million years huh? So that's how long it's been since we died, not as long as I expected honestly.”
This was the first time the two of them actually got any information on how long it had been since they died. Looking at the changes that had taken place since they were alive, Li Yang had expected it to be around a hundred million years or so, maybe even more, two million years was a rather short time, especially considering the number of changes. Zhao Feng gave a light nod of his head, leaning further back against the couch while shrugging his shoulders.

”Yup, my guess is that something happened in those two million years that greatly sped up the changes, but I've yet to discover any sort of clue as to just what this something is. Well, not really any point in wasting time on something we know nothing about right now, better to focus on the present. And by the present I mean, what sort of chaos are the two of you planning on causing now? And whatever it is, I want in.”
With how long the lifespan of strong cultivators was, there could easily be tens of millions of years where almost nothing changed about cultivation, so it was a bit strange for things to change so greatly in just two million years. Li Yang temporarily ignored the excited Zhao Feng, placing his hand on his dantian.
”Well, first of all, I got to take care of something quickly.”
He pulled out Jinwu and Shenlong, Fang Ying pulling Huanglong out of her own dantian. Li Yang had already handed over Huanglong shortly after they reunited, Fang Ying had carried her ever since and taken care of her. Looking at the three comatose Divine Beasts that suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhao Feng couldn't help but look greatly shocked.
”...Just where the hell did you get those?”
Fang Ying pulled out the hydra blood and the life elemental that she had acquired in the previous fight, giving the blood to Huanglong while giving the elemental to Langshen. The blood didn't share an element with Huanglong, but the strong lifeforce in it would still be very useful to her, the same was true for the elemental that she fed to Langshen, it would help greatly improve his own lifeforce and recovery speed once he fully digested it. While she was doing so, Li Yang was doing the same to Jinwu and Shenlong, handing them the fire and lightning element parts respectively while also responding to Zhao Feng.
”These? The two dragons, Shelong and Huanglong, I actually got from the hidden realm you set up, they were born when the remnant energy from me and Ying'er mixed with the remnant energy in the dragon skeletons. As for this fellow, Jinwu, I got him in the Cloud Wilderness.”
Li Yang gave a more in-depth explanation of how he encountered them while making sure that the comatose beasts safely absorbed the blood and elementals. Just as he suspected, they didn't wake up after absorbing the blood and elementals, but at least their conditions stabilized greatly, thanks to the vast energy, they were a large step closer to waking up. After hearing the full story behind Jinwu, Zhao Feng's air once again became serious.
”You're saying that his mother is Yangwu and that his father is probably Bing Di? And that not only are the two of them dead, but even Zhulong has also fallen?”
Li Yang had overheard the Golden Crow and the Torch Dragon as they spoke, this was how he knew their names as well as the name of Bing Di. He didn't know if this Bing Di was Jingwu's father, but why else would his mother fight so desperately to protect the corpse of Bing Di? Zhao Feng tapped the table in front of him with his fingers for a short moment before looking at Li Yang with a serious gaze and giving him a sincere warning.
”Brother Yang, whatever you do, do not let this information reach anyone else from the Demon Race. Also, never tell anyone else about Jinwu's origins, the fewer people know about it the better.”
Li Yang and Fang Ying's eyebrows rose once more as they stored their now stabilized Divine Beasts back into their dantians, only Langshen remaining in the room, his head still resting on Fang Ying's lap as he worked on digesting the life elemental. Li Yang leaned back against the couch again, a gourd of wine appearing in his grasp as he gestured with his hand.
”I'd ask why and what you know, but I have the feeling you're going to tell me anyway, so hit me.”
Li Yang could read Zhao Feng well enough to know how he would act, his words swiftly proven correct as Zhao Feng leaned forward and actually brought out a map of the entire Cloud wilderness, pointing out several marked areas while talking.
”The truth is that even though we call ourself the Demon Race, we aren't the rulers of all Demonic beasts, we aren't even the rulers of the entire Cloud wilderness, that's only a front we put up. In truth, very few Divine Beasts actually listen to the Demon Race, you'd be surprised by how many of them are actually against the Demon Race. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing, the existence of these hostile and neutral Divine Beasts prevents the Demon Race from taking over the entire Cloud Wilderness and spreading too far. You see, once the Demon Race spreads far enough they plan on starting a full-scale invasion of the lands controlled by the humans, their end goal is to control this entire planet and then spread to the surrounding ones. If they move forward with those plans there is no telling how many from both sides will die, it will be horrible.”
Each area Zhao Feng pointed out marked the territory of a different Divine Beast that wasn't part of their Demon Race, a grand total of five, their territories almost forming a complete circle around the territory of the Demon Race. Li Yang slightly raised an eyebrow at the ambitions of the Demon Race, but he didn't think too much of it, most races had the same ambitions after all. Zhao Feng continued to talk, tapping two of the Divine Beast territories.
”Should the Demon Race learn that Yangwu, Bing Di, and Zhulong have all died, there is at least an 80% chance that they'll go forward with their plan, they'll probably start by killing or enslaving the remaining two free Divine Beasts in the Cloud Wilderness, at which point there will be nothing left to stop them from taking over the entire Cloud Wilderness. Luckily, the Divine Beasts are very secretive so it should still take the Demon Race several years before they figure out that something is up.”
Divine Beasts could do much like cultivators, go into hiding for several years so that they could quietly cultivate or rest, one could only assume such a being to be dead upon actually seeing the body with one's own eyes. Zhao Feng's gaze drifted onto Li Yang's dantian, pointing at it with his thumb, his eyes gleaming slightly.
”As for him, I do in fact know what he is. If he is the son of Yangwu, there is only one thing he can be, the son of Bing Di. You know that Yangwu was a Golden Crow, correct? Well, Bing Di was a Glacial Nethersky Tiger, a Divine Beast born with control over the supreme Nethersky Ice, you can consider it on the same level as the Golden Flames.”
Li Yang had never heard about the Nethersky Ice but he knew that the flames of the Golden Crow were among the most supreme in the entire universe. So for this Nethersky Ice to be on the same level as the Golden Flames, its might could be imagined. Li Yang himself had already experienced the might and strangeness of this ice, it was even able to freeze things like Qi and souls, it truly deserved to be ranked amongst the most supreme of ice.
