312 Single-Horned Little Black Dog (2/2)

Normally, under typical circumstances, he would not believe such words of a young, human man.

However, the young man standing before him gave him a feeling of wisdom and importance. The Primordial Soul Power that the young man had trained was not only a Primordial Soul beast, but it could also affect and influence his own soul, causing it to feel trapped. That sort of feeling was comparable to when he stood before demons that were at a training stage much higher than his.

”If my assumption is right... You have crossed over to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage for many years, but you have been unable to cross the last obstacle to get to the next training stage.”

Zhou Donghuang spoke once again, ”This is all because there is an issue with the way you train.”

”With your body type and well as the tribe you come from, normally, the strongest you can be is only an ultimate Primordial Soul adapt. Also, the oxygen flow in your body is complicated, it's not smooth. You probably used some human-based training methods and damaged your body in the process to try and enter the Divine Transformation stage... am I right?”

At the end of his speech, Zhou Donghuang looked deeply at the Demon King before him.

Although he had not used his Divine Will on the other party, the other party's volatile essential core and aura made his observations easy to infer.

Such situations were common for many demons that he had met in his past life, and they had all suffered from the same issues, just as what he had described.

Zhou Donghuang had a solution prepared for this.

As for the Demon King's face, even before Zhou Donghuang had finished speaking, it had already changed completely.

This was because the other party was right!

Furthermore, he was the only one aware of his own issues.

”Your Excellency, please help me!”

The silver-robed, middle-aged man begged Zhou Donghuang with a look of gratitude. Because of this, his body also trembled slightly. His voice shook as well as he used a tone of awe and respect.

One had to know that if he did not cross over to the Divine Transformation stage, after a few more decades, he would reach the end of his life.

Faced with this, he was extremely frustrated because he had not found a solution for it.

But this young man before him had given him hope again!

Zhou Donghuang glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently before saying, ”I stand by what I say... As long as you activate the demons under you and help me find that little demon, I will immediately help you cross over to the Divine Transformation stage.”

”Your Excellency, I'll give the order right away.”

Now, in light of Zhou Donghuang being a potential life saver, the middle-aged man nodded wildly. Without any hesitation, he turned to look at the tens of demons before him. ”All of you heard what Your Excellency just said, right? Immediately spread the message and hunt for this little demon!”

After the demons had acknowledged his order and left, the Demon King turned to glance at Zhou Donghuang again. ”Your Excellency, do wait for a while... I will go give the order to my other followers as well.”

The Demon King was in control of the entire forest.

Now, all the demons within the forest served him and were loyal to him.

Those who were unwilling to be led by him were killed long ago.

Not only the human world respected the strong. The demon world was similar, just as the universe and divine world were!

Not long later, the Demon King returned. ”Your Excellency, my quarters can be said to be respectably clean. In the next few days, please use it as a rest stop!

”I can guarantee that as long as the little demon lives within my forest, within a maximum of three days, it can be found and brought to you.”

Faced with the Demon King's courtesy, Zhou Donghuang was not surprised at all.

This was because he could tell that the Demon King's days were numbered.

Furthermore, it was only under such pressing circumstances that a demon would choose to switch to human-based training styles in hopes of crossing over to the next training stage... However, humans and demons were inherently different.

Human methods of training could be borrowed, but the number of demons who had successfully utilized them were few and far and in between.

Furthermore, for those demons, most were the most outstanding members of their tribe.

As long as they were able to develop themselves as they grew, they would become leaders.

The Demon King's living quarters were located at the center of the forest. There were four lakes there and a courtyard that looked like a human home. This courtyard was situated right in the middle of the four lakes, and the roads along this piece of land had many trees growing alongside them.

It could be inferred that the Demon King had good taste and had adapted a human version of decoration.

The Demon King gave up his quarters to Zhou Donghuang, and he personally set out to the corners of the forest to find the little demon that Zhou Donghuang was looking for.

Within an instant, all the demons in the forest who were intelligent enough were all activated, and the entire forest was put to work. Many little demons also started to run around because of this hunt.

…

Two days later:

The Demon King once again appeared before Zhou Donghuang.

”Your Excellency, we got lucky!”

At this very instant, a purely black dog the color of ink was sleeping soundly on the slender shoulders of the Demon King.

On top of this black dog's head, a small horn stuck out, and this gave him an oddly shaped head.

”It's him!”

Zhou Donghuang's attention was already on the single-horned little dog once the Demon King had appeared. Although it was smaller than he had remembered from his past life and his horn was smaller than before, Zhou Donghuang recognized it in an instant.

This was the divine beast cub that he had been looking for!
