Kong Luo sat cross-legged at the entrance of the formation, on the surface he was meditating while keeping a straight face but inside he was pretty frustrated, he thought that he could use Yun Jhin's former memories to help him break through the limits of his talent but the Emperor saw trough him and summoned him to the palace in those 10 days that Yun Jhin had to wait.
Kong Luo bowed as the Emperor said:
"You should know why I have summoned you right now Kong Luo, and I will have to tell you to stop thinking about it."
Kong Luo's eyes widened in surprise, he never thought about his plans in front of the emperor so how could he know?
The Emperor smiled as he said:
"It's easy to know, after all, how could your ambition stop at the Sage Realm? You think you can strong-arm his knowledge out of him when he recovers his memories?"
Kong Luo didn't say anything but his silence was also a type of approval as he didn't shake his head, the Emperor continued to talk:
"Let me tell you something, if there was a way to help you, I would have done that already, do you think that I'm withholding cultivation secrets from you because you think I would fear you reaching the God Realm?"
Kong Luo shook his head frantically but The Emperor ignored his actions as he got up from his throne and walked slowly to him, in a few nanoseconds he was in front of him as he put his finger on his forehead, a bunch of information was directly transferred to Kong Luo's soul as his whole body shuddered.
He kneeled to the Emperor as he said:
"Thank you for making things clear to me your majesty!"
The information that the Emperor transferred to him told him whatever he needed to break through the Sage Realm in the future combined with a cultivation technique for the Sage Realm, it also told him why he wouldn't be able to reach the God Realm.
The Emperor sighed as he said:
"Just act the same with Yun Jhin, it doesn't matter how you act with him as his personality will change massively after he unlocks his former life memories, all I can say is that the only ones he will fear would be people as strong as I and my wife are, also I shouldn't even need to tell you but you know this information should be kept confidential, right?"
Kong Luo nodded his head, then he was dismissed by the Emperor, he knew that he couldn't do anything to Yun Jhin now, and even if he got the knowledge from him it didn't mean he would be able to use it.
Kong Luo sighed as he remembered what happened then he ignored everything else as he circulated the cultivation technique that the Emperor gave him, even though it was for a Sage Realm expert, he could still use it to hasten his cultivation progress in the Emperor Realm, after all, it was a superior technique to the one he used beforehand.
*******
Yun Jhin was walking around the woods of the demonic forest, he kept his eyes closed from time to time as he chose different directions, the smell in the woods was tantalizing and the aura in the air was trying to bewitch Yun Jhin to go into the directions it wanted.
The demonic forest was full of predators but Yun Jhin easily avoided them, from time to time he would also kill some new specimens that he didn't recognize and ate them to analyze their insides.
Yun Jhin ignored the temptations of the woods quite easily due to his strong mentality and willpower but the others wouldn't be able to do the same in his situation, atleast in the deep region that he was in, maybe only Lulu could resist.
Yun Jhin walked deeper into the woods as he chased the higher concentrations of natural energy, after a few hours of walking he finally reached a dark clearing in the forest, there was nothing inside it, it was so empty that you would think that nothing lived in this forest.
But Yun Jhin knew that it was only an illusion as he felt the clearing to be covered with formations, he wasn't sure if the demon was home but he would need to investigate regardless if he was here or not, as long as he was stealthy he could insure his life.
Yun Jhin frowned as he analyzed the formations around the clearing, they were some pretty high ranked demonic formations from hell, even though Yun Jhin was 'friends' with demons and devils that didn't mean they would share their formations with him, fortunately, he got his hands on all of the basic formations of hell and with his knowledge, he could reverse engineer the formation to the most basic form that he knew, however, that would take him quite a while. But the thing that he lacked now the least was time.
Even if the demon left or entered the clearing, with his current cultivation base his stealth technique would make him invisible to everyone below the 5th stage of the Sage Realm.
Yun Jhin continued to reverse engineer the formation while other things happened in the forest...
The fatty was currently 'attacking' one of his colleagues, she was a female that couldn't escape the fatty's grasp, unfortunately for her, the fatty didn't let her go until he was satisfied, she was of a noble family and she abhorred the fatty but she couldn't do anything besides crying and trying to push him away, it seemed the fatty's cultivation was quite high as the female was at the 2nd stage of the King Realm.
This was the scene that Lulu saw when she walked a bit deeper in the woods, she took a long sword out of her spatial ring as she lunged at the fatty ready to cut his member in half!
The fatty disappeared into a bunch of mist as he retreated into the woods, his eyes were deep red, it seemed he couldn't control himself due to the temptations of the woods and he attacked the first female he saw.
Lulu frowned as she looked at his glazed red eyes and then averted her eyes away from him as he was still naked, the female colleague that was attacked got up slowly while still shaking from fear and disgust, Lulu protected her while she got herself some new clothes from her spatial ring and they looked as the fatty disappeared in the woods, Lulu sighed as she said:
"It seems the fatty's mental aptitude is quite bad, even though he is lecherous I'm not sure if he would do that by himself..."
The female colleague glare at the fatty's direction then she grabbed Lulu's sleeve as she said:
"Could I follow you from now princess Lulu? what if I'm attacked by such a type of beast again?"
Lulu nodded her head at her then she patted her shoulder to comfort her, the woman wasn't a virgin but being attacked in such a ferocious way could leave a lasting mark on her, it would have been even worse if it was her first time, atleast she looked less shaken now.
Lulu found out that women weren't the only thing the fatty fancied as he found some naked men with their butts up here and there as well, they were moaning in pain as they had been deflowered by a 'crazy red-eyed fatty'. It seemed the fatty wouldn't be able to control himself and he would pierce everything that moved...
As Lulu walked further in the forest she even saw poisonous animals such as spiders, lizards, and some huge bugs laying down in exhaustion. She was getting more and more disgusted with the fatty, most of the wood's temptations only accentuated the sins in one's heart, could the fatty be such a big pervert?
Fortunately, as she went further inside the forest she finally started to see less and less of that perverted fatty's rampage.
She promised herself that even though the fatty was influenced by the forest, she would still cut his tool so he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else in the future!
There was quite the crowd behind her now but it was still within her means to protect, as the princess of the Empire she thought that protecting her people was something that she needed to do.
While the fatty was piercing everything under the heavens, Yun Jhin was finishing the reverse engineering of the demonic formations, he was just one step away from finishing when he heard the rough breathing of a pig-like animal behind him.
As he turned his head back to see what it was he realized that it was a naked fatty! His eyes were red and glazed as he looked at Yun Jhin like he was a piece of meat, Yun Jhin frowned as he threw out his baby dragon which grew a little bit compared to before.
The fatty immediately went and pinned down the dragon before he took his tool to attack the backside of the poor thing, the dragon immediately started to blew fire breaths towards the fatty, the fatty started to sweat as the fire, roasted his body turning it a deep red color.
The baby dragon was currently at the second stage of the King Realm but his fire couldn't do much to the fatty!
While the fatty was preoccupied with piercing the dragon Yun Jhin appeared behind him and stabbed his hand in his back, however, before he could withdraw his hand with the prized possession he realized that he was stuck in the fatty's layers of fat!
Yun Jhin frowned as he unleashed a dark green fire inside the fatty's chest burning all of his fat away while he took his heart out of his chest, Yun Jhin looked down at the fatty's heart as he threw it towards the dragon who ate it happily, the stiff body of the fatty was still trying to do the 'act' to the dragon who was now getting away from the body.
Yun Jhin's eyes glowed as he devoured the fatty's soul and gained some success in the refining of his first jewel, reaching the 3rd stage of refining in one go and he was almost ready for the 4th one.
Yun Jhin sighed as the baby dragon ate the body of the fatty leaving nothing behind, what a crazy fatty he was, he even wanted to pin down an artificial dragon, fortunately, the dragon didn't have a gender nor did he have any bodily needs, since the fatty couldn't find any hole at the back he then wanted to go to the front, that was the moment he started to get roasted by the dragon fire.
The fatty's memories were a blur to Yun Jhin, most of them seemed to happen when he wasn't even conscious, it seemed the fatty was missing a part of his soul for some reason and that's why he had such a one-sided mind.
Yun Jhin ignored all of the useless memories from the fatty and finished reverse engineering the formation, then he entered it after he put the baby dragon back into his spatial ring.
Yun Jhin realized that the clearing was only an illusion but he didn't think he would enter a cave, the cave was very spacious and it was pitch black, as Yun Jhin walked further inside, strange images started to pop in his head, but they were all empty!
Yun Jhin realized that this was the innate-aura of the demon nobility, this type of aura would try to bewitch the demon's enemies to make them weaker before they attacked, it shown the deepest desire that the person envisioned, since Yun Jhin didn't know how true eternal life looked all he got was blank images, he didn't even imagine it and even if he did, people with such type of desires wouldn't fall easily to the demon's aura.
The aura would be more useful against people like that fatty or greedy people.
Yun Jhin walked further into the cave until he reached a deep room inside, on a steel spikes bed sat a old man in a cross-legged position.
He wore a dark uniform and a cape, his white hair dropped to his shoulders, he had a curved nose that looked like the beak of a raven his eyes were closed and his arms wasn't visible, but Yun Jhin could feel a deep demonic presence from his left one.
Yun Jhin took a better look at the old man as he thought:
"It seems the demon took over this old man's body... he must be injured as only his arm remained..."
Demons could live as long as their soul wasn't destroyed, it would be even better if a part of their body remained as they could parasitize a host and use it to recreate his body.
However it seemed that the old man didn't want to give up fighting the demon, his eyes opened a dark green flame-like energy burned into them, he looked around but then he shook his head as he said:
"Since this demon got to me I always think that I'm watched by someone..."
It seemed his intuition wasn't wrong this time as Yun Jhin was truly looking at him, but due to his stealth technique unless he revealed himself the old man wouldn't be able to see him, or that's what he thought...
Suddenly under Yun Jhin a demonic eye appeared, it was of the same color as the old man's it blinked for a few times before it exploded quicker than Yun Jhin could act, a very small piece of Yun Jhin's soul threatened to be removed but Yun Jhin held onto it.
Yun Jhin frowned deeply as the old man opened his eyes and said:
"It seems I wasn't wrong, who knew that being paranoic would help?"
He made his left arm visible as an invisible attraction force threatened Yun Jhin's location, the man chuckled as he said:
"Let's see which rat scurried in here..."
Yun Jhin couldn't dodge the force in time and he was struck by it, suddenly the man's demonic hand was almost near his neck!
Yun Jhin realized that he made a mistake in this situation, he couldn't be familiar with each demon's unique ability and that cost him a bit here...
But he could feel that the old man didn't have a very high cultivation base, as long as he played it well he would be able to escape.
The man's demonic hand grasped Yun Jhin's neck as Yun Jhin's invisibility turned off, the man frowned as he looked at Yun Jhin's body and said:
"A little halfling dared to enter my den?"
The man exerted his green demonic arm as he wanted to rip Yun Jhin's soul out of his body!
Yun Jhin's eyes glowed as this was a good time to counter-attack, while the man thought that everything was in his palm, Yun Jhin charged his own soul attack that directly went to the man's forehead!
