Longevity with My Offspring

Chapter 232: Choosing a Successor


Molan frowned, without replying.

If it is a chaotic state, Huangfu Jin and Yuqing would hardly take care of themselves, then this Demon Emperor really has a chance.

You Huang gave Shen Wang and Molan a cold glance, then turned back to the Demon Race's formation.

Silver Moon walked to Shen Wang's side and teased, "I didn't expect it, you're quite capable, even daring to provoke the Demon Emperor."

"It wasn't me provoking her; she came to provoke me."

Shen Wang shrugged, "Besides, humans and demons are naturally at odds; you should help me."

"I can't help, even if I want to, I don't have the strength." Silver Moon responded coldly.

"Having the intention to help is enough."

Shen Wang smiled and glanced at the approaching True Monarch Lieyu, who was from the Hundred Refining Sect and a strong candidate for the next Sect Leader.

Wondering if his Master came along.

He continued to glance at that monk, guessing he might be from the Spirit Buddha Temple?

Quietly observing the situation, Shen Wang retreated into the main group, staying as low-key as possible.

Now that there are more and more Nascent Soul level cultivators, his limited strength should remain low-key and focus on development.

Molan also acted as if she had little to do with Shen Wang, hardly glancing at him and silently moved to the side.

People from the Jade Silkworm Valley and the Sixth Prince halted, no longer attacking the array, waiting for other forces of humans and demons to arrive.

During this time, they have confirmed the difficulty in breaking this array, and the more people there are, the better the chance to break it.

Although this means that some treasures might have to be shared, they have no choice. They can't break the formation, so how can they talk about miracle medicines?

Most of the people and demons present have already acquired various treasures, gaining more than those who come later, so with this comfort in mind, they weren't in a hurry.

At this moment, Yuqing and Huangfu Jin stepped forward to greet True Monarch Lieyu.

During the conversation, Shen Wang learned that the skinny monk came from Lin Yuan Temple, and not the Spirit Buddha Temple as mentioned by Yan Xiaobin.

He then remembered that Lin Yuan Temple is a sect in Xi Province, second only to the Lingxi Sect, and Chen Xian was a lay disciple of this sect.

As several Nascent Soul level cultivators exchanged, other cultivators gradually arrived, and the numbers on the human side increased.

While on the Demon Race side, some demons also arrived, but comparatively fewer.

This was because the cave mansion was initially in the Demon Race's area, and many demons had already entered during the early stages, leaving only a small portion now.

Even so, a Demon Emperor with a human form still joined the Demon Race, temporarily unclear of its type.

Shen Wang continued observing the array for a while, he could understand some of it, but there were still issues.

This array was continuously changing and improving, making it very hard to break.

To use skillful techniques, one must continuously follow the changes; otherwise, breaking it is impossible.

Shen Wang couldn't help thinking of the random combination locks from past lives, where the password changes constantly, requiring sufficient computing power to crack.

Currently, his reaction can't keep up with such changes, let alone breaking it.

As for a forceful attack, the array's defense is terrifying; Shen Wang suspects it is combined with the entire Earth Core Volcano's power. Even with a large number, it's hard to break without Divinity Transformation level strength.

"The Flowing Light Medicine Venerable's skill is not only in alchemy; their array techniques are also very high, not simple at all. To set up such a formidable array, they must be meticulous, probably expecting a bunch of cultivators to attack today, or perhaps our entry itself was arranged by them!"

The more Shen Wang thought, the more his heart raced. If the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable planned this a millennium ago, it would be incredibly terrifying.

"If my hypothesis is correct, what's the purpose of this setup? It can't be out of sheer kindness, probably to disperse treasures?"

Staring at the array with shifting eyes, Shen Wang, though unsure of the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable's true intentions, was certain it was beneficial to them.

His greatest fear was the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable trapping and killing them here.

With this in mind, he moved closer to Silver Moon and poked the latter, who was resting with closed eyes: "Got a question for you."

Silver Moon opened her eyes in displeasure, "Ask if you must, don't touch me."

"I just moved my finger."

Emphasizing his point, Shen Wang whispered, "What kind of person is this Flowing Light Medicine Venerable, are they an evil demon or outsider?"

After hearing this, Silver Moon replied, "Neither righteous nor evil, normally one wouldn't set their cave mansion here, right?"

"Do you think there's a possibility they plan to trap and kill us all here?"

Shen Wang asked.

Silver Moon glanced at Shen Wang with disdain, "You're too afraid of death. We've been here a long time without encountering a single intelligent being inside the cave mansion, aside from disputes with Demon Beasts and the Killing Array. If they intended to trap us, they would've acted long ago, no need to wait until now."

"So you think there's no danger either."

Shen Wang touched his chin, "So, everyone thinks there's no significant danger."

"Why, did you discover something?"

Silver Moon asked back.

"No, I just find it too smooth."

Shen Wang shook his head, "It's like having your house open, letting us take things freely."

"Could it be that everything valuable was taken beforehand, leaving only herbs to grow for thousands of years?"

Silver Moon disagreed.

"Then why aren't there any herbs over four thousand years old?" Shen Wang questioned.

"Some of it is due to the limitations of the herbs themselves, and it's possible they didn't leave a millennium ago but stayed a few more thousand years without anyone knowing." Silver Moon replied matter-of-factly.

"That makes sense too."

Shen Wang nodded, looked at Silver Moon, "Have you found any passage leading out?"

The places he and Molan went were limited; perhaps others knew some clues.
