Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 183 Conflict Between Buddha and Demon, the Demon's Heart is Unfathomable

A hundred steps away.

The Black Wind King, resembling a mountain of flesh, clutched his head and howled in pain. Black mist surged around him, manifesting as wisps of black fluff that darted and weaved like swimming fish.

The golden headband on his head shone brightly with Buddhist light, revealing ancient and simple scriptures. It was as if an old monk was chanting scriptures in the void, creating a solemn and magnificent atmosphere.

The brightly colored brocade robe shone with a brilliant light, its golden rays surging and making a loud noise.

It is clearly a Buddhist treasure, yet it possesses a captivating and alluring charm that makes one yearn to possess it.

For a moment, the black mist and the golden light were like fire and water, locked in a fierce confrontation.

In fact, the black fog gradually gained the upper hand.

Just then, golden patterns lit up beneath the Black Wind King's fur, radiating Buddhist light and forming a pattern centered on the swastika on his chest.

It was a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva!

The Bodhisattva lowered her brows and placed a single palm down.

"Roar!"

A strange roar came from within the brightly colored brocade robe, which quickly dimmed and became an ordinary, bright red robe.

In an instant, all the light and shadow vanished.

The black mist and Buddhist chants faded away, leaving only heavy breathing, which transformed into a foul wind that swept over us.

"Gan!"

Liu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat, and the greed that had been stirred up earlier receded like the tide.

But it also made his heart pound.

He didn't want to experience that feeling of being unable to control himself, that terrifying feeling of being completely consumed by greed, a feeling he never wanted to experience again.

There's something strange about this robe!
"Huh...huh...huh..."

Black Wind King squatted on the ground, his body covered in sweat, the bloodshot in his eyes fading and returning to clarity.

It pressed its hand against the brocade robe on its body, sighed softly, and looked at the complex scene.

Then, it turned its head and looked at Liu Sheng, its bear face full of apology:

"Little eagle, I was wrong before, I hurt you, that..."

It chuckled憨厚ly, stretched out its paw, scratched a few silver tufts of hair on its forehead, and took out a purple-gold precious pill from the silver ring on its wrist, tossing it over:

"This is the Purple Gold Seven Treasures Pill that I refined. It can help you recover from your injuries and improve your cultivation."

The precious pill was about the size of a fist, its entire body was purple-gold, shimmering with spiritual light, with pill patterns swirling on it, and a strong medicinal fragrance.

"This monster is actually quite polite?"

Looking at the precious pill that was tossed to his mouth, Liu Sheng was surprised, and his eyes seemed to be deep in thought.

The Black Wind King was the first powerful demon he encountered; his strength was unfathomable, but his behavior...

That's really strange.

The cassock on its body, the golden headband on its head, and the Guanyin pattern under its skin all made it stand out from ordinary demons, making it unique.

As for whether or not to take this precious pill...

He has the talent of "poison absorption", so it doesn't matter whether it's poisonous or not.

However, that's not entirely accurate.

After all, it was a pill refined by a powerful demon, and the medicinal ingredients inside were extraordinary. If the toxicity exceeded the range that the "talent" could handle, then it would be a disaster.

As the old saying goes, even the best swimmers drown, and even the best riders fall.

It's always best to be cautious in everything you do.

"What, afraid it's poisoned? You little eagle, you're so cunning. If I wanted to harm you, I'd just kill you and eat you..."

The Black Wind King, with his keen senses, noticed Liu Sheng's hesitation and immediately let out a disgruntled snort:

"If it weren't for the fact that you're also a demon and have been implicated by me, I wouldn't have given you this Purple Gold Seven Treasures Pill..."

This bear demon looks a bit silly and doesn't bully others at all.

Maybe we can fool them?
Liu Sheng's eyes darted around, and just as he was about to speak, a flicker of light and shadow appeared before his eyes—

[Detected that the "Sky Sparrow" avatar is critically injured and about to die, and will soon exit the avatar state.]

[Would you like to consume 9876 spiritual points to fully recover from your injuries?]

Gan!
I don't even have six thousand spirit points saved up yet!
Liu Sheng's heart tightened; this was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he obtained the Dao Fruit.

There was also a huge demon nearby!
Once it exits its avatar state and reverts to its original form, even if it's a bit dim-witted, it will probably sense that something is wrong.

It should be noted that humans and demons are different.

This Black Wind King is quite patient with demons, even somewhat naive, but he might not be so kind to humans!
How to do?
Before he could come up with a solution, white mist rose from beneath his feet, and he was about to revert to his original form.

"I'll risk it!" Liu Sheng steeled his resolve and swallowed the Purple Gold Seven Treasures Pill.

The next moment, the Sky-Splitting Sparrow, lying in a pool of blood, transformed into a towering young man amidst the white mist.

He was tall with sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes, his gaze bright and piercing, and his demeanor exuded an air of aloofness and pride.

Handsome, aloof, and with a sidelong glance.

Its temperament is very similar to that of eagles.

This was a face he specially sculpted to fool the bear demon in front of him.

"You... have transformed into human form?"

At this moment, the Black Wind King spoke, his eyes full of admiration, and he praised it repeatedly:

"Not bad, not bad, he's really handsome, much better looking than when I'm in human form."

Your awakened bloodline... is even more powerful than mine!

This attitude showed that they had absolutely no doubt that Liu Sheng was a human!

"It's because I had preconceived notions beforehand. When I saw the 'Sky-Splitting Sparrow' in its incarnation, I assumed that I was a demon, and that's what I imagined..."

A strange glint flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes, but his face remained impassive.

It's better to imagine it yourself than for someone else to say it a thousand times.

Unless he reveals the truth, he will likely be seen as an eagle-like monster by this bear demon.

It is currently only in a transformed state.

That suited him perfectly, saving him the trouble of giving an explanation he had originally prepared.

If there's anything wrong with it, it's that his current appearance is more complete and more attractive.

Some demons, though not deeply versed in their cultivation, retain some of their demonic characteristics even after transforming into human form.

Examples include rabbit ears, fox tails, tiger stripes, and cow horns.

Moreover, there is an unspoken rule regarding the transformation of alien beings: the more complete the transformation and the closer it is to human form, the nobler and more powerful the bloodline within them.

In the eyes of the Black Wind King, Liu Sheng is now a young demon with noble blood, great potential, and a promising future.

They are worth recruiting and cultivating!
It transformed in an instant, black mist emanating from its body, and in the blink of an eye, it became a black-faced monk wearing a golden headband and a kasaya, looking no different from an ordinary person.

Only a pair of round bear ears, drooping down in a fluffy manner, gave it a somewhat beastly appearance.

Small eyes, big mouth, honest and simple.

"Not bad, not bad, little eagle, what's your name?"

It scratched its ear, picked up its staff, and walked over, quite enthusiastically:
"What bloodline has been awakened? Are there any elders in your family?"

"Your Majesty, my name is... Bai Yu."

Liu Sheng bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice:

"Having awakened the bloodline of Fei Lian, I have no relatives or friends left in my family."

When the transformation of the sparrow was deduced, it once ruled over all birds in Mangshan and called itself "White Feather King". This name is just right to be used.

"Hey, all demons under heaven are one family, don't stand on ceremony with me! Feilian is an ancient giant demon, also known as the Wind God..."

Black Wind King patted Liu Sheng on the shoulder, put his arm around him, and became even more enthusiastic:

"Our demon race is born of nature, and it is extremely difficult for us to attain enlightenment. It is only after the change of heaven and earth and the revival of spiritual energy that things become much easier."

In the past, without hundreds of years of arduous cultivation and perseverance, as well as a fortuitous encounter with immortals, it would have been a pipe dream.

Your relatives and friends are probably long gone, turned to dust and bones...

Are all demons under heaven one family?
This bear demon has quite the grand vision!

It seems they're no longer satisfied with just one Black Wind Mountain...

Liu Sheng was slightly startled and looked at the honest bear demon beside him, his wariness increasing greatly.

At this moment, the Black Wind King pointed ahead:

"I've gathered some fellow demons ahead. These ruins are fraught with danger, so it's best if we all stay together!"

As it spoke, it warmly embraced Liu Sheng and hurried away.

They didn't give Liu Sheng any chance to refuse.

Bitter!

Liu Sheng's lips curled into a bitter smile, but he still had to put on an expectant look to avoid being noticed by the Black Wind King.

But if we do that, we might end up in a monster's den.

Danger!
