Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 312: Red Poison King

As the holy land of the demon world in Uttarakuru, the Demon Master Palace is still very impressive and retains some of the luxury of the ancient demon court.

The banquet at the Demon Master Palace was naturally extremely sumptuous, with a grand and luxurious scene.

The banquet table was filled with all kinds of delicacies, half of which were natural treasures from the mountains, such as thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and ten-thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and the other half were rare delicacies from the sea, such as lobster, crab roe, shark fin, etc., which were extremely delicious.

They are even more particular about the wine and drinks. The fragrant lager is mellow and long-lasting, the mature lager is sweet and refreshing, the purple mansion nectar is as clear as spring water, and the reincarnation nectar has a hint of mysterious charm... every sip of wine seems to contain endless magical power and aura.

Even the wine vessels were carefully selected: the cormorant ladle was simple and elegant, the golden pot was dazzling, the silver chisel was exquisite and delicate, the purple cloud cup was like the sunset in the sky... everything was available.

In the feast.

"Come, come, my dear brother Jinjiao, drink this cup to the full!"

"To thank you for your help this time."

Demon King Kun held the Jinpo Luo cup and greeted Xiao Chen enthusiastically.

"Brother Kun, let's drink this cup together."

Xiao Chen picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Demon King Kun.
"Brother Jinjiao, come, I'll toast you too."

Demon King Peng walked straight over and wanted to drink with Xiao Chen.

"Drink together, drink together."

Xiao Chen accepted all offers and agreed readily. The two demons smiled at each other and clinked their wine glasses, making crisp sounds.

The two little gourd spirits, Jinhu Duoduo and Jinhu Ye, also started drinking.

Although they are petite, they have big bellies like gourds and their alcohol tolerance cannot be underestimated.

But obviously, they were still too young. After a while, they were staggering, with red cheeks and blurry eyes. They were obviously drunk.

Xiao Chen did not stop him, thinking to himself:

"Which monster doesn't drink?"

“You should start drinking it from childhood.”

……

When the banquet reached its climax, a soft and orderly sound of footsteps attracted the attention of the monsters.

The maids of the demon tribe moved lightly among the tables, carefully holding two plates of strange-looking fruits with an alluring luster.

One of the plates was filled with crimson dates. The dates were small and exquisite, and the date juice was as bright red as blood, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.

The other plate is pears with slightly green skin. The flesh is as white as jade, crystal clear, plump and sweet in shape, with thin skin and fine flesh. Every bite seems to bring out a mouthful of sweetness and moisture.

Looking closely, the pear looks somewhat similar to a rabbit's head, which is quite interesting.

"These two fruits...are not ordinary."

Xiao Chen's eyes flickered as he took one of the fruits and tasted them carefully.

Xiao Chen only felt a faint magical power surging in his body. Although it was not as capable of directly improving his cultivation as the peaches, it was an excellent thing for him to consolidate his foundation and enhance his magical power.

While tasting it, Xiao Chen thought to himself:
"If a mortal is lucky enough to obtain it, it would not be difficult to extend his life by several hundred years."

Xiao Chen thought of his royal chrysanthemum tea and the little princess of Chechi Kingdom, "Fairy of Flowers", and they each swallowed a spiritual fruit and stored them in the "small world in the stomach space".

Although Baihuaxian was just his maid, Xiao Chen had a special "feeling" for her.

There is no other reason, it just helps to reduce inflammation.

The large-fruited peaches were so effective that he was afraid that the Hundred Flower Fairy would become an immortal immediately after eating them, so he never gave them to the Hundred Flower Fairy.

However, he asked the Great Immortal Tiger Power and the Black Bear to refine some longevity medicine for the Fairy of Flowers to eat. Although the effect was also good, it was obvious that the red dates and green pears had a better longevity effect.

He doesn't need to be too compassionate to this Flower Fairy. He can just stand up and kick the Chrysanthemum Fairy casually. It is very effective in reducing internal heat.

As the saying goes, "time breeds love", after decades of hard work, he has slowly developed feelings for her.

He still needs to take care of it and use some longevity items to keep it alive, lest the Flower Fairy's lifespan ends one day and he runs away.

Then he has no place to kick.

What a pity.

The two little gourd spirits, Jinhu Duoduo and Jinhuye, don't seem to be very interested in delicacies from land and sea such as lobster, crab roe, and shark fins. Instead, they have a special liking for these spiritual fruits.

"delicious!"

The two little gourd spirits ate happily, their little faces filled with smiles of satisfaction and happiness. It was obvious that these fairy fruits were not only delicious to them, but also very beneficial to them and could help them grow and practice better.

"These are the immortal fruits, fire dates and pears, that my master cultivated by simulating the ancient wild environment."

Demon King Kun introduced with a smile.

"Fire dates and pears."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly realized that although the fire dates and the cross pear were not as good as the peaches, they were also two very precious fairy fruits in the world of Journey to the West.

The barefoot immortal once presented two Jiao pears and several fire dates at the "An Tian Conference" to celebrate the success of the Buddha held by the Jade Emperor.

The South Pole Immortal also presented the Jade Emperor with Jiaoli Fire Dates, praising the Buddha for subduing the evil monkey. The God of Longevity also used three Fire Dates to save the dying King of the Bhikkhu Kingdom, restoring his health and prolonging his life.

"This River Map and Luo Shu is truly miraculous."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh again.

Although there is also a small world in his stomach, it is still a semi-virtual world.

However, the River Map and Luo Shu can directly create a real small world and even produce fairy fruits such as fire dates and pears. This gave him a deeper understanding of the power of this magic weapon.

There is no comparison between the two.

"Brother Peng, your halberd technique still has some flaws..."

"Jinjiao, the last time I saw you, you were so arrogant that you blew away the nine golden heads and flying bats in one breath. I wonder what kind of magical power this is..."

"Brother Kun, how is your practice of the Kun Ball Integration Technique going..."

……

The five demons, Demon King Kun, Demon King Peng, Demon King Jiao, King Golden Horn, and Scorpion Spirit, each drank some fragrant wine, ate some jujubes and pears, and talked about their own cultivation experiences, exchanging experiences and insights with each other.

"Come, let's have another drink!"

Demon King Kun raised his glass and shouted, and all the demons responded.

Sudden.

Suddenly, there was a subtle fluctuation at the top of the banquet hall, and then a Taoist priest in a green robe with a blurred face and thin body appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

The Taoist in green robe seemed to have stepped out from the void. Although his aura was not obvious, he exuded an indescribable majesty and depth.

All the demons present involuntarily put down their wine glasses and stood up to salute.

"Father."

Demon King Kun and Demon King Peng spoke almost at the same time, their voices full of respect and awe, and they each bowed deeply.

"Master."

The Dragon Demon King followed closely behind and saluted respectfully.

"Demon Master Kunpeng..."

Xiao Chen had seen Kunpeng in the battle of Huaguo Mountain.

But at that time, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers, demon generals, and heavenly soldiers and generals gathered in the center of the Huaguoshan battlefield.

There were millions of immortals, Buddhas, demons, gods, etc. watching the battle near Mount Huaguo.

At that time, he, the King of Golden Horn, was just a small spectator, lost among the other monsters, and Kunpeng might not remember him.

"Greetings, Senior Kunpeng."

Xiao Chen and He Sanniang looked at each other, then bowed together.

"Greetings, Grandpa Kunpeng."

Golden Gourd Duoduo and Golden Gourd Leaf also followed obediently and saluted in their tender and innocent voices.

Since they call the Demon King Jiao uncle, then Kunpeng is naturally their grandfather.

"Golden Horn, Golden Toad..."

Kunpeng turned around and his gaze stayed on Xiao Chen for a moment. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything in the world.

A hint of reminiscence flashed in Kunpeng's eyes, as if he remembered something distant and important.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic, as if it had crossed the barriers of time and space, with a hint of vicissitudes and emotion:

"Back then, there was also a Sky-Swallowing Golden Toad under the Demon Court's tent."

"But later, alas..."

Xiao Chen's heart moved when he heard this, and he thought to himself:
"This Heaven-Swallowing Golden Toad... is probably my ancestor."

Most of the 365 demon gods under the command of the Demon Court in the past were innate alien species from the ancient times.

They can be regarded as the ancestors of various demon tribes in their respective tribes. Xiao Chen was not too surprised that Kunpeng Demon Master could see his golden toad's whereabouts at a glance.

After all, millions of demons from the ancient times gathered in the Demon Court.

As the imperial teacher of the Demon Court, Kunpeng knows all the demons in the world like the back of his hand.

There are all kinds of monsters in the world, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the sea... Kunpeng has seen all kinds of monsters.

Judging from some of the exposed skills and means of the Golden Horn King, Kunpeng would probably be able to recognize him at just a glance.

"Heaven-Swallowing Golden Toad..."

Kunpeng stopped here.

His eyes moved away from Xiao Chen and fell on the Scorpion Spirit. With a hint of admiration in his voice, he said:

"The Eternal Poison Scorpion, this ancient alien species, actually still exists in the world."

“It’s rare.”

"Since you two demons have helped me this time, I should give you something in return."

Kunpeng looked at the Scorpion Spirit and said confidently:
"Since you want to be my disciple, I will accept you and grant you the Dao Fruit of Daluo Jinxian."

"As for...going further up, that depends on your luck."

Upon hearing this, the Scorpion Demon also showed joy on his face, with excitement flashing in his eyes.

She has been trapped in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal for a long time, and has always longed to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level of cultivation.

However, reaching the realm of Daluo Jinxian is extremely difficult.

In the outside world, the methods for the demon race to cultivate themselves upward are almost cut off.

For the demon race from the outside world, the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal is almost the end. If they want to reach the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, they can only take refuge in Heaven or Lingshan.

She even wanted to eat the golden cicada to complete herself. The purpose of this trip to Northern Juluzhou was to get a chance to break through.
"Thank you, Mr. Kunpeng..."

The Scorpion Queen just opened her mouth, but then she realized what was happening and immediately changed her words and bowed:

"Thank you, Master."

Kunpeng nodded and said slowly:

"Since you have become my disciple, you should have a Dharma name."

The Scorpion Spirit said respectfully:

"Master, please give me a name."

Kunpeng thought for a moment and said:

"You are the Eternal Poison Scorpion. I wanted to give you the Dharma name 'Ten Thousand Poisons'."

"But your clan has obvious weaknesses, so you need to hide your whereabouts."

"Calling you Wan Du is not nice, so I'll call you Red Du."

"Kuva..."

Upon hearing this, the Scorpion Demon bowed and thanked him:

"Thank you for the name, Master."

Kunpeng nodded and announced:
"From now on, Chi Du will be the Second Prince of my Demon Master Palace."

"Its rank is below Demon King Kun."

Kunpeng's words shocked all the monsters present.

This sentence not only established the Scorpion Spirit's status in the Demon Master Palace, but also demonstrated how much Demon Master Kunpeng valued her.

"Meet the Red Via King!"

"Meet the Red Via King!"

"Meet the Red Via King!"

……

The attendants responded quickly and saluted the Scorpion Demon one by one. Their voices were in unison, full of awe and respect.

"Meet Senior Sister."

The Jiao Demon King and the Peng Demon King followed closely behind and saluted.

Although the Scorpion Demon came in later and ranked second, they had no objection to this.

Firstly, they called Jinjiao "brother" and they also called the Scorpion Spirit "sister-in-law".

Secondly, the Scorpion Demon's strength is indeed above theirs, and he has long been recognized by them.

In this demon world, strength is still respected after all.

You are better than me, so it is only natural that you should be ranked ahead of me.

At this time, Demon Master Kunpeng's gaze turned to the two little gourd spirits, Jinhu Duoduo and Jinhu Ye.

Kunpeng said to Xiao Chen:
"These two little gourd spirits have good aptitude. Since they called me grandpa, they should stay in the Demon Master Palace with Chi Du and become boys."

"In my free time, I'll teach them a thing or two."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen bowed and said:

"The order of the senior."

"The younger generation will certainly respond."

What else could he say besides following the boss' orders? He just had to do it.

It would be nice for these two little gourd spirits to follow their godmother, the Scorpion Spirit, and practice together in the Demon Master Palace.

Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, and Demon King Peng are all close friends of his. The Scorpion Demon is also here, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone bullying them.

"Kun, after three months."

"Then hold the apprenticeship ceremony in the Demon Master Palace."

"Let the fish, the fish, the tiger, the dragon, and the beast all come and watch the ceremony."

Kunpeng gave instructions to Demon King Kun.

"Okay, Father."

"I will make sure to prepare for this matter."

Upon hearing this, Demon King Kun immediately clasped his fists and made a promise.

"it is good."

As Kunpeng finished his words, he disappeared from the spot.

Xiao Chen didn't care. He is a top leader of the demon clan. What's the point of getting together with a bunch of you juniors?

However, becoming a disciple is not that simple.

Kunpeng accepted the Scorpion Spirit as his formal disciple, not a registered disciple.

Of course, the necessary procedures and rituals must be followed. This is a symbol and recognition of identity.

"Lang Jun."

He Sanniang held Xiao Chen's hand, her eyes filled with excitement.

The truth is not easily passed on and a good teacher is hard to find.

For practitioners, it is such a rare thing to be able to meet a famous teacher who can give guidance.

The realm of Daluo Jinxian is an almost insurmountable gap for Taiyi Jinxian.

Without the correct method of practice, one may be stuck in this state for the rest of his life, unable to make any progress.

From now on, she has a real seat in the Demon Master Palace. Isn't this much better than attending classes in the Great Leiyin Temple?
All of this... is all thanks to her husband's planning for her.

The road was paved for her.

"Sanniang, reach the realm of Daluo Jinxian as soon as possible."

"It will also allow King Jinjiao to have a free meal."

"You know, our toad clan has bad teeth, so it's better for us to eat soft food."

Xiao Chen held He Sanniang's hand and said with a smile, his eyes full of anticipation.

If the Scorpion Demon reaches the realm of Daluo Jinxian, then her foundation will be perfect and her strength will undergo a qualitative leap.

At this point, why should they still care whether Pleiades is resurrected or not?
The Scorpion Demon, who has reached the level of Golden Immortal, is capable of walking around in the outside world with ease.

In fact, the Five Elements Mountain was transformed from the palm of Tathagata Buddha.

The Scorpion Demon, who is at the level of Golden Immortal, could swivel his tail so hard that he could make a big hole in the Five Elements Mountain.
