The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

As he spoke, the pheasant ran his fingers through his hair, and his once decent hairstyle instantly changed!

He was completely bald on both sides and around his head! Only a strip of multicolored hair remained on the top of his head, which, combined with his somewhat flamboyant face, made him indescribably sassy.

And this guy even slapped his mouth twice, looked up at the sky, and yelled, "Whoa whoa whoa!!"

"Hey bro, look how awesome I am!"

Li Xiaobai: "…………"

"Awesome!"

Pheasant: "Hahahaha!"

Alright, this guy is highly intelligent, his bloodline grade must be extraordinary, and most importantly, he has no malice whatsoever; he's clearly a docile chicken! Moreover… judging from the spiritual pressure he just unleashed, this chicken is very strong!

The two began to travel together, though neither knew where they were going.

But that's the unspoken understanding between males! Most of the time... all it takes is a simple "go".

"Why did you appear in your original form before, even though you had already transformed into human form?"

"Isn't that comfortable? By the way, what is your true form? I can't see through it." The pheasant looked at Li Xiaobai curiously.

He sensed that Li Xiaobai's bloodline grade was not high and his bone age was very young, but! This guy also gave him a very powerful feeling, which was very contradictory.

"I am a snake," Li Xiaobai said frankly. "I just broke through to the third level and have just taken human form."

"No wonder you're so flamboyant! You snakes and foxes always like to transform into this; you look so much like humans. Hey, your bone age is very young. How old are you?"

"Not that old, aren't you not that old either?" Li Xiaobai glanced at the pheasant again.

The pheasant nodded honestly: "I was locked in an egg for decades. As soon as I came out and transformed, I was brought here."

As he spoke, the pheasant said with a resentful look, "None of those demonic beasts can be properly communicated with! It's really been so frustrating for me. That's why I came over as soon as I sensed your breakthrough aura. Let's keep each other company."

Li Xiaobai fell silent.

Just came out, just transformed...

This means that this guy hatched with a cultivation level of three!

No wonder the system didn't recognize its breed; this must be, no, this is definitely not an ordinary chicken.

"Let me tell you, this Demon Selection Ground isn't as simple as it seems. The outer perimeter filters out those whose intelligence isn't up to par, but the inner land of opportunity is where the true fortune lies!"

The pheasant seemed to have been holding back for a long time: "Those opportunities and good fortunes were all sent in by the high priest at the behest of powerful demons. The demons there are incredibly fierce; I really wouldn't dare to venture in on my own."

"But now that I have you, it's all good! The two of us! Two Tier 3s! That's not someone to mess with! And you can help me get revenge."

"Hmm?" Li Xiaobai was somewhat surprised.

During this period, he clearly observed that the pheasant had fully adapted to the way it moved in human form, unlike when it was somewhat unsteady at the beginning.

But based on my observation, even without transforming into human form, this pheasant's combat strength is still quite considerable, perhaps even stronger than mine!

Is there anything in this Demon-Selecting Ground that can make him suffer a setback?

"Don't be surprised! The Demon Selection Grounds are where those big shots paid a huge price. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is very rich. Many second-tier demons break through their realms and transform into human form after entering here. It's not surprising that some are powerful."

As he spoke, the pheasant looked indignant: "Just now, I wanted to go and see a place with a special opportunity, but I was kicked out."

"Hmm?" Li Xiaobai's eyes darted around. "Then how about I help you get revenge, we go get the opportunity, and then you help me get revenge?"

"That's great!"

The pheasant grabbed Li Xiaobai by the neck: "Your brother Xiaobai's enemy is my enemy! Come on, tell me, let's see which one dares to offend you!"

"We'll talk about that later. Let's go, let's get back everything you've lost!" Li Xiaobai said with great pride.

He opened his hand, and with a click of his divine sense, a three-foot-long sword shimmering with pale blue light appeared in his hand.

In that previous mission, he obtained a random spiritual weapon, a random martial skill, and a random innate talent!

Since the other two didn't have time to draw theirs, they drew out their spiritual weapons first, which was the longsword in his hand called "Dragon Soul"!

"You!"

The pheasant glanced at Li Xiaobai warily, then leaned closer and sniffed him intently.

"You're just like a human being. You're the only one among those human sword cultivators."

"You've also seen human sword cultivators?"

"I have a few brothers who were killed by human sword cultivators. Sometimes they even venture deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains to cause trouble," Mountain Chicken 1 said bitterly. "And a while ago, one of my red-bellied brothers also disappeared."

"I suspect it's another case of human cultivators turning out to be the culprits!"

"Hiss!" Li Xiaobai glanced at the pheasant, then thought of the red-bellied chicken he had killed: "Didn't you just hatch recently?"

"They've been hatching for two or three years now."

"Fine, those human cultivators are truly despicable; they actually killed your little brother."

"Yeah, right! It's outrageous!"

Li Xiaobai and the pheasant were fast and quickly entered the inner circle of the Demon Selection Land. As soon as they entered, Li Xiaobai knew why there were no second-tier demon beasts here.

The spiritual pressure of this third-tier demonic beast is too intense! Although those second-tier creatures are not very intelligent, they still know fear.

Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy here is on a completely different level from those previous places! To put it simply, one day of cultivation here is equivalent to three days of cultivation in the outer areas.

It's equivalent to spending ten days cultivating in the Hundred Thousand Mountains!

"Once we get there, we'll take down those two bastards! Everything inside is ours!"

The pheasant stroked a tuft of hair on the top of its head with great enthusiasm.

Li Xiaobai asked curiously, "Aren't you afraid I'll stab you in the back?"

Upon hearing this, Shanji suddenly looked at Li Xiaobai seriously: "I'm not afraid."

"I don't know why, but I can sense that you're not a good person, but you definitely can't hurt me."

"Tsk! That's a good deal!"

Li Xiaobai also smiled.

After he came into this world, the pheasant was the first living being who could talk to him so much.

This would be impossible for a human, right? But the demon could trust him almost unconditionally upon their first meeting.

"Then, we'll split this opportunity fifty-fifty!"

Unexpectedly, after Li Xiaobai said this, Shanji fell silent for a moment.

Li Xiaobai thought the pheasant wasn't very satisfied, after all, it was the pheasant who discovered this place and brought him here.

If it weren't for the pheasant, I probably wouldn't have known that there were so many intricacies to the Demon Selection Grounds! Actually, according to the rules, the pheasant should indeed have received a larger share.

Just as Li Xiaobai was about to explain, Shanji spoke first.

The guy looked serious and said earnestly, "Fifty-fifty? Who gets fifty-fifty?!"
