Chapter 346: Chapter 345: First Generation Baize Emperor
White Snow Spirit returned to the Baize Imperial Dynasty, and the Kylin avatar was still reviewing memorials.
In fact, the position of the Kylin King among the Eight Great Demon Kings was also vacant. The previous Kylin King, who was White Snow Spirit’s brother, made a move in front of Jiang Li under the guise of auspicious identity and was killed by Jiang Li with a finger poke.
White Snow Spirit did not look for a new Kylin King, but allowed her own avatar to fill the position of the Kylin King.
She also gave her Kylin avatar a new identity, the Regent.
“You’ve traveled from other worlds, and you’ve returned with some rare curiosities,” Changcun Immortal chuckled, studying the blood of Du Ye brought back by Jiang Li.
“The blood of a Celestial Level Extraterritorial Devil is rare, even in the Immortal Realm. I have also only seen it a few times with my master.”
The master that Changcun Immortal mentioned is the Dao Sect Patriarch.
Jiang Li recounted the events in the Lingxi World, and Changcun Immortal nodded frequently after listening.
“The First Generation Baize Emperor was indeed a rare genius. I met him when he was a child.”
The Baize Imperial Dynasty was established over thirty thousand years ago when Changcun Immortal was already an Immortal who had long resided in the Nine Prefectures.
“The First Generation Baize Emperor was likely a throwback. His parents were ordinary demons. We would have to go up countless generations to establish a connection with Baize.”
“Baize was able to open up his spiritual intelligence during the Foundation Establishment Stage, much earlier than other demons. At that time, only demons at the Divinity Transformation Stage and above had spiritual intelligence. After the First Generation Baize Emperor gained spiritual intelligence during the Foundation Establishment Stage, he became incompatible with the other demons, and began to ponder some profound problems.”
“He was able to answer these questions himself, but as he grew older and gained more knowledge from his bloodline, his questions became increasingly difficult.”
“These questions troubled him and made him lose his desire to cultivate.”
“One day, hearing of my existence, he came to the Dao Sect to seek my advice.”
“I was stunned by the child’s questions, I’ve met young Baizes in the Immortal Realm before, but compared to the First Generation Baize Emperor, they seem much more childish.”
“I thought he was a promising offspring and decided to form a positive bond, so I did my best to answer his questions.”
“Under my care, the First Generation Baize Emperor’s growth was much smoother.”
“The First Generation Baize Emperor had a strong sense of independence. He wanted to grow independently, break free from my thinking framework. Gradually, I let go, no longer micromanaging everything.”
At this point, Changcun Immortal looked somewhat embarrassed: “Luckily, he loved to think independently and stopped coming to me with questions. As his experiences increased, the questions he asked became deeper and more profound. Some of them, not that I couldn’t answer, might not even be answerable by anyone in the Immortal Realm.”
“Later, he sought life through death and successfully advanced to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. He then asked me a question, how can the demonic race awaken their spiritual intelligence earlier.”
“I asked him why he had such a thought. He said that the human race is strong and the demonic race is declining, mainly due to the wisdom of the human race.”
“I told him there are many mythical beasts in the Immortal Realm and the human race treats the demonic race very kindly. Why does he think the demonic race is declining?”
“He said although there are many mythical beasts, many of them are the mounts of immortals. This kindness is nothing more than the kindness shown to pets. He wanted to change this situation.”
“I said letting the demonic race awaken spiritual intelligence would have them prematurely transform from the beast realm to the human realm, violating the cycle of the six realms of reincarnation. This is impossible.”
“He didn’t believe me, and said he wanted to give it a try.”
“Later, he used the racial gift of ‘Secretless’ to ask the Heavenly Dao for a solution, obtaining the method to awaken the spiritual intelligence of the demonic beasts.”
“After he got the prescription, he thought that some of the medicinal ingredients were rare, and might become extinct in the future, so he further improved based on the prescription, incorporating it into the Baize bloodline.”
“In this way, as long as there were descendants, the spiritual intelligence of demonic beasts could be awakened.”
“It was later confirmed that his concerns were correct, and you have seen the prescription from Snow Spirit.”
Jiang Li nodded, “Five-Heart Soul Severing Grass, longevity cream, Bamboo Spirit Green of Ten Thousand Years, Fatty Blood… There are other herbs, but they are now hard to find.”
“Yes, indeed, he was a visionary. Like the Ten Thousand Years Stone Bamboo, it was everywhere in the Nine Prefectures in those days. Later, cultivators were indiscriminate in their cutting, showing off their all strength. Whoever was strong got everything, they only knew how to take but not to give back. The Ten Thousand Years Stone Bamboo became increasingly rare, and now there are only a few left.”
Nowadays, these few are grown in the Ling Medicine Sect, extremely precious, constituting one of the rare achievements that can bring prestige to the Alchemy Peak of the Dao Sect.
“And Fatty’s Blood, there must be plenty more in the Immortal Realm, but there’s none left in the Nine Prefectures.”
“The First Generation Baize Emperor based on this, established the Baize Imperial Dynasty. Oh, it wasn’t called the Baize Imperial Dynasty back then, but Baize Country.”
Only a country that lasts for ten thousand years has the qualification to be called an imperial dynasty.
“Baize Country was well known, rallying most of the demonic beasts of the Nine Prefectures. When it comes to combat power, it was not less than that of the imperial dynasty at the time.”
“Later, the First Generation Baize Emperor ascended and made a great name for himself in the Immortal Realm. I met him in the Immortal Realm; he truly was a remarkable talent among immortals, and many great figures expressed goodwill towards him, wanting to take him under their wings.”
“His cultivation talent was better than mine, and he achieved heavenly immortality in just ten thousand years.”
“Later on, when the staircase to immortality disappeared, I lost all news of him.”
Changcun Immortal sighed deeply, lost in his memories for a while before focusing back on the present: “Indeed, this is the blood of Baize.”
“Does this mean that there is Baize among the extraterritorial devils?”
“It’s hard to say. I mentioned before, there are many theories about the origin of extraterritorial devils. Some say that they are born from the void, some say they are the aggregates of negative emotions of living beings. Apart from these, there are also various strange theories.”
“You’ve seen for yourself, the Extraterritorial Earth Celestial had a messy body, as if hundreds of different beings were squeezed into one body. Some immortals think the reason for this situation is that extraterritorial devils are born from negative emotions, the negative emotions of many races and different beings created the extraterritorial devils.”
“This explanation would also account for why even among devils, their structures are all different because they are born from different negative emotions.”
“About Baize’s blood, I think there are two possibilities.”
“One is that Du Ye advanced from being an Earth Celestial devil, eliminating the chaotic factors in his body and retaining only the part from Baize, as Baize represents wisdom.”
“Another possibility is that Du Ye was born from all of Baize’s negative emotions, which led to his insignificance differences from the true Baize.”
“The blood of Du Ye is the opposite of the First Generation Baize Emperor’s blood, and it should also be partly born from the First Generation Baize Emperor’s negative emotions.”
“Of course, all of these are predicated on the assumption that extraterritorial devils are born from negative emotions.”
Jiang Li casually asked: “Is it possible that the extraterritorial devils are fallen immortals, or somehow connected with the immortals?”
The two looked at each other for a long time before Changcun Immortal started to laugh out loud: “How is that possible? You really have an imagination.”
Jiang Li also smiled: “Yes, how is that possible? I’m just overthinking.”
