Immortal Martial Saint, something's wrong with my entry.

"You're finally awake! Were you planning to sleep forever?"

Li Youan closed the door with his foot, rested his chin on his hand, looked at Bai Ze on the bed, and teased him.

At this moment, Bai Ze was staring at the plain ceiling with his deep blue eyes. Upon hearing Li Youan's words, he slowly rolled over and lay face down on the bed.

"You can really sleep. If your breathing wasn't steady, I would have thought you were sick."

Bai Ze ignored Li Youan's teasing, kicked its four hooves twice on the bed sheet, finally shook its head, and got up. Its azure eyes swept over Li Youan.

"You've broken through pretty quickly, you're already at the second level of the Opening Origin Realm." Bai Ze noticed that he had broken through again.

Upon hearing this, Li Youan grinned, took a few steps into the room, stretched, then took a change of clothes and headed to the washroom, drinking a glass of cold water along the way.

"Not bad, mainly because I'm talented. By the way, you have no idea what I've been through these past few days—"

Li Youan was about to tell Bai Ze about her experiences over the past few days when Bai Ze interrupted her.

"Even though I'm asleep, I can still sense the outside world." As he spoke, Bai Ze had already walked to the bedside.

"You managed to outsmart those two stupid monkeys; they're really dumb."

Bai Ze recalled the scene he had witnessed that day, scratching his ear with his front hoof as if talking to himself.

"It has to be said that the demon race in this world has regressed too quickly. Even the little demon cubs back then were more clever than them."

"But what happened to you when you went out today?"

Seeing Li Youan's strong desire to express herself, Bai Ze changed the subject.

"You dumped me on that woman, and I didn't go out with her. I don't know what's going on or if there's anything fun to do."

"Oh, isn't Bai Ze supposed to be omniscient and omnipotent? There are things the White Divine Beast doesn't know."

Bai Ze rolled his eyes at Li Youan's strange words.

"Stop talking nonsense and get to the point. If you don't tell me, I'm not listening anymore, and I'm not really interested in hearing it anyway."

"Hey, hey, I'll talk, I'll talk."

Li Youan stopped arguing with Bai Ze and said, "What's the rush? I'll get to the point now."

Splash splash splash.

As Li Youan washed up, she thought about what had happened that day.

"Today is going to be interesting..."

In the following time, Li Youan quickly and briefly recounted his encounter with the three monsters and his conversation with Captain Luo Jingshan, occasionally gesturing with his hands.

Bai Ze listened attentively, nodding occasionally.

After Li Youan finished speaking, Bai Ze's attention was clearly elsewhere.

"So, the current situation is that, after all the trouble I've gone through with you, I haven't even finished exploring the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, and now I have to go back with you again."

Although Li Youan was somewhat used to Bai Ze's strange focus, he still said with a wry smile.

"Who told you to keep sleeping? I can't wake you up no matter how much I call you. If you don't want to go back, you can stay here by yourself."

"Never mind, never mind."

Bai Ze waved his chubby little hooves, pretending not to care.

"Your Uncle Bai is such a considerate person, I'll go back with you tomorrow. There will be plenty of opportunities to come to the Ten Thousand Demon Forest in the future."

The room fell silent for a short while. Soon, Li Youan finished showering and changed into a clean and simple set of clothes.

Thinking of the three demonic beasts they encountered today, and their conversation with the captain just now, Li Youan looked at Bai Ze beside him with a serious expression.

"Do you know of this method of forcibly increasing the strength of demonic beasts?"

Although Li Youan's words were somewhat incoherent, Bai Ze understood their meaning.

"You mean, you encountered these three today?"

Li Youan nodded as she dried her head with a towel, and walked to the coffee table in a few steps.

"These three demonic beasts rely almost entirely on their physical bodies and demonic energy, without displaying any racial talents. The captain said this is very abnormal."

Bai Ze paced back and forth, lost in thought, before finally speaking.

"I don't know the specific methods, but any forced increase in strength will leave side effects. Compared to normal experts of the same level, they will be weaker because their foundation is unstable."

After a pause, Bai Ze looked up at Li Youan and continued.

"Moreover, this method is either not fully mastered yet, or the conditions are too harsh. Otherwise, the human race and the demon race would have been wiped out by the demon race long ago."

Hearing this, Li Youan felt a little relieved.

"In that case, the methods mastered by the demon race may not be perfect yet."

"It's not a possibility, it's a certainty."

Bai Ze's tone was very certain.

"However, you not only obtained two monster corpses, but also let one escape. The way back will definitely be extremely dangerous."

Bai Ze's hooves tapped gently, making a "da da da" sound that was not only not annoying, but also made Li Youan feel quite comfortable.

"Be prepared for a tough battle, or even a life-or-death struggle."

Li Youan was not surprised by Bai Ze's words, as this was the same conclusion he and Luo Jingshan had just reached.

"It seems this journey back to the city won't be easy," Li Youan sighed, looking up at the plain ceiling without a single pattern.

After a moment of silence, Li Youan turned her gaze back to Bai Ze, thinking of another matter she hadn't mentioned earlier.

"If I want to advance my 'True Scripture of Longevity Tribulation,' do I have to make the 'Seed of Longevity' within my body sprout? I remember you initially told me that. Is there any other way, Brother Bai?"

As Li Youan spoke, she looked at Bai Ze with anticipation in her eyes, hoping that Bai Ze would give a different answer.

At this moment, he was already sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table, while Bai Ze jumped onto the coffee table.

"That's right." Bai Ze nodded, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Putting everything else aside, your cultivation level must at least reach the True Spirit Realm for the [Seed of Immortality] to have a chance of sprouting. And even that's only a possibility, not a certainty."

Bai Ze knew that Li Youan was thinking of some clever tricks, after all, no one could resist the temptation of the "True Scripture of Longevity Tribulation".

Once this technique is successfully mastered, one can directly glimpse the secret to longevity, which means living as long as heaven and earth. That is why the conditions for cultivation are extremely demanding.

"This technique is all about accumulating strength before unleashing it," Bai Ze continued to explain. "The initial blood and qi cleansing and various forms of plundering do accumulate very slowly. It's not just about reaching the required cultivation level. You have to take it step by step and not think about taking shortcuts. This is your most fundamental technique."

Since this path was blocked, Li Youan was somewhat disappointed, but he knew that this was the truth, so he changed the subject and continued to ask.

"What about the 'Myriad Manifestations Ascension to Immortality Technique'? The Spirit of Nature has absolutely no clue about it. I've never even heard of the Spirit of Nature, and they've never mentioned it when I chat with them."

Speaking of this, Bai Ze actually has quite a lot to say.

"While finding this spirit of nature requires a certain amount of fate, there are other ways."

Bai Ze paused deliberately to pique Li Youan's interest before slowly beginning to speak.

"You can ask him if you have the chance..."
