"Long ago, in the ancient era measured by millennia, our world once waged war with the legendary Demon Realm. After it ended, the passage to the Demon Realm was sealed. At that time, the Shen Family and the Celestial Travel Sect were responsible for a large and a small passage, respectively. This artifact was captured and left behind during that war."

After hearing this, Shen Wang said, "To be able to war with another world back then, the strength of the Celestial Travel Sect must not have been lacking."

"Yes, back then, the Celestial Travel Sect was certainly a top-tier sect, and the Shen Family was truly a prestigious clan. But times have changed, and both have weakened. The Shen Family relied too heavily on their Bloodline Power, and now they are nearly extinct."

Celestial Cloud True Monarch nodded, "That's why we've been allies with the Shen Family since ancient times. Any misunderstanding between us is trivial, and we won't mind."

Shen Wang responded mockingly, "How come I've never heard of you helping the Shen Family? Now, when there's trouble, you start speaking of this?"

Celestial Cloud True Monarch replied, slightly awkward, "There's no help for it. Every family has its own difficult scripture to recite. The Shen Family is struggling, and so are we. Within the sect, factions abound, and it's hard to help without causing imbalance."

"That's because the Shen Family lost their backing at the higher levels, which naturally led to your lack of interest in intervening."

Shen Wang didn't believe these words, "The Shen Family is already a hollow name. I won't interfere as long as you don't harm my disciple."

Celestial Cloud True Monarch smiled wryly, "I already expressed my stance just now; I won't do anything against him. You can rest assured and help our Celestial Travel Sect resist the Demon Beast army's invasion."

"Let me see this Demon Technique, and then gather some Demonic Qi for me. I'll observe Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan."

Shen Wang said, "Let me make it clear. Even if the Demon Cultivation Method has similarities with our Cultivation Method, the absorbed power is completely different. Don't expect too much from researching it unless you start cultivating by absorbing Demonic Qi from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Celestial Cloud True Monarch said, "We only hope to use Demonic Qi to enhance overall strength and get through this difficult time. Once it's over, we naturally won't drink poison to quench thirst."

He handed over the artifact recording the Demon Technique to Shen Wang, "Read it quickly and return it to me. This belongs to the sect, and it's a bit of an exception for me to give it to you."

"Alright."

Shen Wang took it, and Celestial Cloud True Monarch brought out two black bottles, "These contain Demonic Qi. Use them cautiously, and give them to Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan for their cultivation."

After giving some instructions, Celestial Cloud True Monarch tactfully departed.

Shen Wang sensed that Celestial Cloud True Monarch genuinely wanted his cooperation, and he shouldn't take any action against him until the Demon Beast army threat is resolved. For now, there was no trouble.

He researched the Purple Extreme True Demon Technique for a while and found it to be a comprehensive Cultivation Technique that allows cultivation of different attributes based on individual circumstances.

Just this aspect alone shows that this technique is not simple.

After reading it, he opened the bottle, and a thick Demonic Qi slowly released.

Shen Wang pinched a bit with his fingers to observe; Demonic Qi and Spiritual Power were completely different, with energy that was violent and naturally corrosive.

After checking and making sure there were no issues, he stored the Demon Energy Bottle in the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror. The Yin and Yang Qi changed, isolating Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan from the outside world, then transformed into an avatar, giving the bottle to the two of them.

"Since you have already turned to Demon Cultivation, continue absorbing Demonic Qi for cultivation,"

Shen Wang said.

Liu Shan did not expect Shen Wang to also support them in continuing Demon Qi cultivation and worriedly said, "Sir, will we completely turn into different beings if this continues?"

"The Great Dao may have different paths but ultimately converges towards Immortal Gods. As long as you keep cultivating, at higher realms, there shouldn't be much difference,"

Shen Wang shook his head, glancing at the scales on the two of them, "Your changes should be due to not fully controlling and refining the Demonic Qi. I estimate that once your realm is high enough, you should transform into normal people. At least, outwardly, you won't continue to appear this way."

These words made their eyes light up. They were forced to absorb Demonic Qi for cultivation and had always been bothered by their physical changes.

If they could return to normal, they would gladly do so, gaining more motivation for cultivation.

"Alright, each of you take a bottle of Demonic Qi and start absorbing for cultivation. After you finish, I will get more for you."

Shen Wang waved his hand and vanished as Yin and Yang Qi.

The two of them opened the bottles, and Demonic Qi released. They operated the Cultivation Technique and began refining.

A portion of Demonic Qi dispersed, touching the barrier of the Yin and Yang Qi transformation, and didn't leak out.

Shen Wang observed in the dark.

He found that ordinary Spiritual Power has very weak resistance against Demonic Qi, but with powerful forces, resistance increases. Currently, his strongest Yin and Yang Qi are barely affected by Demonic Qi.

"The higher the realm, the greater the tolerance for Demonic Qi. That suggests those high-level practitioners might also absorb Demonic Qi for cultivation."

Shen Wang was startled, but fortunately, he hadn't felt any Demonic Qi from Celestial Cloud True Monarch, Hongshan, and others yet, so he didn't need to worry about these people undergoing drastic character changes due to Demonic Qi.

After observing for a while, he continued his own cultivation. For now, it's essential to keep enhancing strength.

At this moment, in his home at Kunyu Mountain, another Shen Wang opened his eyes.

"The main body can't return for now, but fortunately, I was prepared in advance."

He muttered to himself.

Although the main body was away, with the experience of the avatar, Shen Wang had refined Earth during this time and created a Level 1 Clone using the Earth Attribute Origin Spiritual Object.

Compared to the more powerful Wood Attribute Avatar, the Earth Attribute Avatar at home was weaker, possessing an Early-stage Golden Core Cultivation, enough to take care of wife and daughter.

He went to You Huang's room to nurture her body.

The latter was already pregnant, surprising him with the speed.

Originally, he thought combining with a Demon to conceive descendants might be challenging, especially considering Lan Kui's previous experiences.

Unexpectedly, You Huang surprised him and quickly became pregnant.

Shen Wang speculated it was because Lan Kui belonged to the Dragon Race, known for difficulty in reproducing, while felines were relatively easy.

Ordinary cats can have a litter in a few months, faster than humans, and Shen Wang felt You Huang might also be faster at giving birth.

Worried that a too-fast birth might affect the child's development, he had been focusing on nurturing You Huang's body in recent days.

After finishing, a prompt appeared.

[You nurtured the body of your pregnant wife, Cultivation +1]

Seeing this, Shen Wang smiled.

After forming the second avatar at home, he tested and discovered that he could still gain system rewards using an avatar.

In other words, the system didn't care if it was the main body or avatar, only whether he did something for his wife and children.

This meant that even though the main body couldn't return home for now, gaining rewards had no immediate impact.

Shen Wang realized the greatest benefit of cultivating the Five Extremes Divine Transformation Technique lay here.

After earning rewards with the Earth Avatar, it did not increase the clone, but the benefit went to the main body far away, nudging his Cultivation closer to the mid-stage Nascent Soul.
