Chapter 1065 -440: Hidden Side Quest

The carrot spirit hadn’t recovered from the damage of the Heart Flame when it was hit by Wu Chang’s elbow, howling as it rolled away.

Influenced by the Heart Flame, it couldn’t transfer the damage using Power of Root in time, almost causing its carrot head to explode.

The intense fear of death spread through the carrot spirit’s heart, making it want to flee, but the more it feared, the more vigorously the Heart Flame burned on it, and the more it burned, the more painful and fearful it became.

In this vicious cycle, the Heart Flame soon burned through the carrot spirit’s will barrier, leaving it lying motionless on the ground.

Wu Chang stepped to the carrot spirit’s head, took out the “Mind Resonance” about to leave the scene due to acquiring the Heart Flame, and spoke to himself.

“Whether you can survive depends on your luck.”

With that, he activated Mind Resonance, attempting to perform spiritual control on the carrot spirit.

The success rate of spiritual control through Mind Resonance kept dropping as the dungeon difficulty increased, and often the elite monsters within the dungeon plane could resist the spiritual control.

The targets that could be controlled were too small in energy, just small fries; those with some energy that could be affected even if spiritually shocked during spiritual control conversion couldn’t be successfully controlled.

This made Mind Resonance increasingly useless, seeming to require grasping a certain balance point to perform spiritual control on advanced targets.

What Wu Chang was doing now was his last attempt with Mind Resonance; if it didn’t work, the item would be considered leaving the scene.

The spiritual control’s light shone on the carrot spirit, but the ethereal light could barely penetrate its surface to enter within, appearing to be another failure.

But then, whether it was the Heart Flame shattering the carrot spirit’s will barrier or its fear of death actively cooperating, the skin on the radiated area actively ruptured, allowing the spiritual control’s light to enter.

A moment later, Wu Chang felt the skill successfully activated, and the carrot spirit had been successfully controlled, only then did he retract the Heart Flame.

Freed from the scorched by Heart Flame, the carrot spirit reduced its body size, turning its stature to half a meter and respectfully called:

“Hong Xin greets my master.”

Wu Chang nodded in satisfaction, taking advantage of the time of the town monster monument’s effect, he began inquiring about the situation in the Demon Realm through Hong Xin.

The information grasped through the memory of the main body was too little, and the intelligence on the Demon Realm was all in the hands of the Human Alliance, making it hard for him to be at ease.

Although the Human Alliance was extremely warm towards Celestial Beings, seemingly very friendly, the collusion between the dungeon world’s upper echelon and the Bright Society was always a thorn in his heart, causing him to not trust the Human Alliance.

Now with Hong Xin the carrot spirit as an information source, he no longer needed to rely on the Human Alliance, and could grasp the true situation of the Demon Realm.

Clearly, the Demon Kings in the Demon Realm did not possess techniques like Mercury; Hong Xin faced Wu Chang’s inquiries without avoidance, directly revealing everything.

Hong Xin, looking overweight like a wonderfully delicious heart, was actually a mutant ginseng spirit.

It originally grew at a Divine Mountain containing an Immortal Mansion, relying on absorbing the weak Spiritual Qi dispersing from the mansion, over-nourished, growing a stomach ordinary ginseng could not have, and nearly becoming a spirit before the Spiritual Qi resurgence.

After the resurgence of Spiritual Qi, it jumped to become a demon, supplementing the accumulated nutrition from the stomach to the brain, achieving spiritual enlightenment.

As a ginseng spirit, in its early phase, it lacked combat power, unable to grow quickly like Candle Yin Remains and other demons, but relying on digging the Immortal Mansion and absorbing the lingering fortune outside the mansion, it grew to the Level of a Demon General.

According to Hong Xin, unlike the intelligence recorded by human cultivators, the Demon Realm did not form suddenly.

A month before the appearance of the Demon Realm, all Demon Generals and aspiring ones throughout Da Xuan were instinctively guided to gather around Liuyun City, calling it a grand event with many honored participants.

Thus, when the Demon Realm started to shake, many top-level demons exerted their forces simultaneously and led to the fall of Liuyun City, one of the three megacities, almost without resistance.

Following this, the demons leveraged their combat prowess, expanding the scope of the Demon Realm extensively before the Human Alliance could react.

Within the Demon Realm, the actual rulers were the four major Demon Kings, the strongest among demons, who gained great benefits during the birth of the Demon Realm.

Their attributes are earth, wind, water, and fire, among which the Fire Demon King is the Candle Yin Remains that Wu Chang dealt with.

The Earth Demon King, also called the Soil Demon King, is Hong Xin’s boss; its body is a rock-armored giant rhino, just like the Mountain Guardian Beast, both are Exotic Beasts within Da Xuan, rumored to possess Black Tortoise lineage.

Concerning the shocking demonic power that alarmed all cultivators in Da Xuan during the birth of the Demon Realm, Wu Chang also asked Hong Xin.

But Hong Xin knew little about this, only stating that perhaps during the birth of the Demon Realm, all demons received the blessings from it, collectively enhancing half a realm of their power, causing that demonic power fluctuation.

As for more information, Hong Xin only knew from hearsay and had not seen personally.

Although the four major Demon Kings belong to demons, there are factions among demons as well, just like the Human Alliance with its numerous sects, each sect with its respective schemes.

The relationship among the four major Demon Kings is not harmonious, some are even mutually exclusive, only barely reaching agreement on certain major decisions, such as the battle against the Human Alliance.

During the question-and-answer between the two, the existence time of the town monster monument quickly exceeded an hour.

Under the effect of the town demon tablet, the Human Dao Destiny overflowed the Demon Dao, dispersing the Demon Qi within the scope of Cuixian County entirely.
