In comparison, Yao Yue was more inclined towards the latter.
He didn't want to be tied down by the various matters of the imperial court. He wanted freedom more than anything else.
Moreover, his situation was rather unique. He didn't know when he would undergo a demon transformation. If that happened, he would become the public enemy of the human race.
If that was the case, he might as well conceal his identity and cultivate the Ten Thousand Devouring Fiends Art to the extreme. He wanted to see how strong he could become.
"That's right. With your strength as a Yuan Scholar, you can defeat a high-grade Yuan General. You can take on any military position, be it the commander of the Imperial Guard or a chiliarch. You can easily take on any military position," said the Cymbidium Purpurea seriously.
She could see Yao Yue's strength because the eunuch who had been secretly protecting her had told her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to do so.
She wanted to recruit Yao Yue because she thought highly of Yao Yue's future. He could become her brother's helper in the future.
If Yao Yue could defeat a Yuan General with his strength as a Yuan Scholar, wouldn't he be able to fight against a Yuan King when he reached the Yuan General level?
Furthermore, she guessed that Yao Yue could be a Yuan Master. If that was the case, she couldn't let go of such a talent.
She had been talking to Yao Yue so that she could use her charm to capture Yao Yue and make him listen to her willingly.
But in the end, Yao Yue had messed with her mind.
Yao Yue shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, Princess, but I don't have such plans for now. Besides, I have to listen to my grandfather's arrangements. If my grandfather allows me to take up the position, I will. If he doesn't allow it, then there's nothing I can do."
"Your grandfather?
General Long Wu?
I will convince him! "said the Cymbidium Purpurea confidently.
At this moment, Yao Yue suddenly thought of something and asked the Cymbidium Purpurea, "Princess, do you have any news about my wife, Long Yue-er?"
Cymbidium Purpurea nodded and said, "She might have been kidnapped to the Asura Dynasty."
"How could this be!" Yao Yue's expression instantly turned ugly.
"It seems that the Shura Devil Clan was well prepared this time. There were people supporting them along the way. Our Xiantian experts chased them all the way, but they encountered many obstacles. In the end, we wanted to ask the people of the Lan Guang Dynasty for help, but the people of the Lan Guang Dynasty refused to agree. As a result, the Shura Devil Clan disappeared without a trace. According to the news sent back, they may have returned to the Shura Dynasty!"
Cymbidium Purpurea explained. She paused for a moment before adding, "However, you can rest assured. According to the news sent back, your wife was not harmed at all. It seems that they only wanted to capture her and did not take her life."
Yao Yue heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the Cymbidium Purpurea's last sentence. As long as Long Yue-er was fine, he could rest assured.
Now that he knew Long Yue-er's identity, he believed that her life would not be in danger after arriving at the Asura Dynasty. She would probably be treated even better.
However, if that was the case, their fate as husband and wife would probably come to an end.
The Asura Dynasty was the strongest among the Four Dynasties. Even if his grandfather was a high-grade Yuan Monarch, he would not be able to break into the Asura Dynasty to kidnap someone.
Yao Yue recalled the time he spent with Long Yue-er in the Long Family. Although they did not spend much time together, there was the warmth and happiness of a family. He could not bear to part with her.
'He looks so sad. Is he worried about his wife?' Cymbidium Purpurea could not help but think sourly.
After a while, Yao Yue regained his senses and sincerely said to Cymbidium Purpurea, "Princess, thank you for telling me so much. If there is a chance, I will definitely repay you."
After saying that, he did not continue to be entangled with Cymbidium Purpurea. He bowed and left with large strides.
Now, he had an urgent urge to become stronger.
He wanted to become a Xiantian Yuan Monarch and even surpass his grandfather, a high-grade Yuan Monarch.
As long as he became an Emperor, he would be able to do whatever he wanted. Even the Asura Dynasty would not be able to stop him. If that happened, he might even have a chance to meet Long Yue-er again.
Otherwise, he would not have any extravagant hopes for the rest of his life.
Cymbidium Purpurea seemed to be able to sense Yao Yue's urgent feelings. She looked at his sturdy back and did not know why, but she felt envious of Long Yue-er.
When Yao Yue returned to his courtyard, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei were already waiting for him.
The three of them had agreed to take advantage of this half a month to refine the offensive formation.
This offensive formation had long been tested by them, and it was of great help in group battles.
Now that their strength had increased, if they could practice it together, its power would definitely rise to another level. When the time came, they would be able to kill more enemies when they were surrounded by the rebel army and bandits.
The main task of this training was to calculate the number of enemies killed. The more enemies they killed, the more points they would accumulate, and the more rewards they would receive.
The three of them first compared their current strength with each other and understood each other's strengths. Only then did they begin to refine the formation.
They already had experience. This training could be said to be very skillful, allowing them to gain more insight into the offensive formation.
In this half a month, they had been working hard to refine the formation almost every day and had achieved a sense of resonance.
As long as the other party gave them a look, they would be able to understand tacitly. Whether it was to attack, change positions, or attack together, they would all cooperate to complete it.
The offensive formation today was not as simple as attacking each other. It could also defend each other, attack each other, and so on. With all kinds of different adaptations, its power had increased by many times compared to before.
Unknowingly, they had refined the offensive formation to a near perfect level.
With the offensive strength of the three of them, they would be able to directly kill a high-grade Origin General if they met one.
Of course, in this half a month, other than refining the formation, each of them had also cultivated their own Origin Martial Techniques. Moreover, they would spar from time to time, allowing them to improve in terms of fighting.
As the boss, Yao Yue's strength was the strongest. Often, he would be able to deal with two people by himself.
Zhang Mengfei's strength was originally not far from Yao Yue's. Now that the gap had been pulled apart, he could not help but write the word "convinced" in his heart.
Just two days before they were to gather and depart, Guan Changyun and Zhang Mengfei first returned to report to their master. Yao Yue decided to break through to the Great Demon Realm tonight to increase his reliance when he went to kill the dynasty's rebels and bandits.
When he was training in the Extreme Demon Mountain Range, Yao Yue had already collected a lot of Great Demon Blood Essence and the corresponding demon materials. It was enough to support his cultivation for a few more days.
Yao Yue looked inside his spatial ring and hesitated on which Great Demon Blood Essence to increase his level.
This first choice was very important because it would affect his talent and strength in increasing his demon power.
After all, when breaking through to a higher level, the first factor was very important. For example, if he chose an attack-type demon beast and a non-attack-type demon beast to break through, the increase in demon power would have different changes.
After hesitating for a while, Yao Yue decided to choose the Great Demon Blood Essence of the Black Wind Leopard and its vital part, the leopard's gallbladder.
There were three reasons why Yao Yue chose the Black Wind Leopard. First, the Black Wind Leopard was an attack-type demon beast, which was in line with his thoughts. Second, the Black Wind Leopard had a talent that he currently desired, and that was its running speed. For the current him, this was an extremely important supplementary demon energy. Third, the leopard's gallbladder. It was relatively easier to devour compared to other demon beasts' vital parts.
After making up his mind, Yao Yue asked Xiao Liuzi to guard him while he prepared to break through.
He brought a jug of wine and drank the Black Wind Leopard's Great Demon Blood Essence. Then, he used the strong wine to send the leopard's gallbladder into his stomach. This could reduce the fishy and bitter taste of the leopard's gallbladder.
Then, he immediately activated the Ten Thousand Demon Devouring Art and cultivated the Great Demon Blood Essence and the Leopard's gallbladder together.
At this moment, he finally cultivated to the second level of the Ten Thousand Demon Devouring Art!
If it was in the past, it wouldn't take much time to cultivate the demon blood. However, this time, the Great Demon's Great Demon Blood Essence and its vital parts were refined together. The energy contained within was not low, so it would take a little longer!
In Yao Yue's body, the Great Demon Blood Essence was constantly surging. Soon, the Great Demon Blood Essence of the Black Wind Leopard was assimilated.
Then, another Great Demon Blood Essence was injected into one of the blood vessels. This blood vessel already had a type of Great Demon Blood Essence, which was the Great Demon Blood Essence of the Black Wind Leopard!
This was the Great Demon Blood Essence of the Black Wind Leopard that Yao Yue had absorbed.
Now that he had absorbed the Great Demon Blood Essence of the Great Demon Blood Essence, he naturally had to replace the original Great Demon Blood Essence of the Great Demon Blood Essence!
Otherwise, how could there be so many different blood vessels in his body that gathered different types of Great Demon Blood Essence?
When the Great Demon Blood Essence was completely cultivated, there was a light that gathered towards the top of his head.
The Great Demon Blood Essence of the Great Demon Blood Essence was extremely powerful. It actually caused the top of his head to shine brightly and doubled in size. Moreover, the power seemed to be undergoing a metamorphosis.
At this moment, the Leopard's gallbladder was completely crushed by the Great Demon Blood Essence. It turned into different strands of Great Demon Blood Essence and seeped into Yao Yue's internal organs, skin, flesh, and pores. It cleansed and strengthened Yao Yue's body constitution.
This round of strengthening made Yao Yue feel as if his internal organs, skin, and flesh were about to burst open. It was unbearable for him.
His face was distorted. Green veins appeared on his skin like snakes. It looked very strange. The Great Demon Blood Essence was still surging inside his body.
Ahhh!
Yao Yue's body was so swollen that it was unbearable. He couldn't help but cry out in pain.
He didn't know if he had made a mistake. This was the first time he had experienced such pain during a breakthrough!
"Could it be that this is the difference between a human and a Great Demon Blood Essence? I, I can't surpass the Great Demon Blood Essence?"
Yao Yue thought to himself. Then, he gritted his teeth and thought, "I have to hold on. I haven't destroyed the Yao family, I haven't helped Third Uncle stand up again, and I have to save Yue 'er. I have to hold on!
Ahhh! "
Yao Yue displayed an extremely strong willpower. He endured the pain and bit the corner of his mouth until it bled.
The elemental energy in his body started to circulate at the same time, and his demonic blood started to boil.
Suddenly, the top of his head connected with the Great Demon Blood Essence in his lower abdomen. At this moment, the transformation finally began!
