Wang Wei emerged from a space crack in an unknown mountainous region, the first thing he immediately noticed when he arrived was the smell in the air, it was the smell of burning meat, and with his cultivation enhanced sense of smell, he could accurately pinpoint the source of the smell.
The second thing he noticed was that his mind was more agile than before and he could feel a strange closeness to the world around him as if the world itself was whispering the answers to all of his questions.
Even his previous doubts and quandaries about Buddhist scriptures were resolved, he knew that that was the Heavenly Will aiding him in his comprehensions.
When he looked towards the location of the smell he saw a group of hundreds of people dressed in animal skin surrounding a few giant bonfires chanting in an unknown language.
He immediately went towards them while he was staying hidden among the treetops, when he got close enough to hear exactly what they were saying and even hear their conversations between themselves he stopped and started meditating while silently planning and trying to learn their language.
As soon as he tried to pick out the meanings of their words and the structure of their sentences a voice appeared in his head as if answering his questions and explaining the language to him, once again it was the Heavenly Will helping him, and with its help and his own abnormal comprehension speed it barely took 2 hours for him to learn the entire language fluently.
Afterward, he took one more hour to complete his plan and listen in on their conversations in order to learn about their daily life and experiences.
They were still a hunter-gatherer society and they only had stone tools and weapons, and the fascinating thing he found out was that because they couldn't cultivate they were subjected to a demonic beast that developed intelligence, which they worshiped as a god.
Because they still didn't have any cultivation path to follow they were extremely weak in comparison to the demonic beast that only needed a cultivation technique once they wanted to break through the Nascent-Soul realm.
A demonic beast that developed intelligence was at least at the Golden-Core realm and formed their demonic core as well as being able to communicate using spiritual communication.
Still, Wang Wei was much stronger than before with his movement technique and he could easily deal with a Golden-Core stage demonic beast, so he wasn't too worried.
So the demonic beast appeared before the tribe that was being ravaged by demonic beasts and barely surviving and it offered them a deal, in return for hunting for it and giving it the food as an offering, it would protect them from the other demonic beast.
Since the people were so primitive and didn't know that what they were talking to was in fact just another demonic beast they saw the supernatural powers it possessed and started worshiping it as a god.
Nevertheless, the so-called god was still a demonic beast that couldn't control its basic desires even though it developed intelligence it didn't possess any empathy and every so often it would ask the tribe to sacrifice a human to it so that it could taste their flesh.
Because of it, the tribe was still extremely miserable and afraid that every moment their god would call on them to sacrifice one of their own.
The current festival was in fact one such sacrificial ritual, where a man was to be sacrificed to the winged demonic serpent. This was extremely fortunate for him because it saved him the wait time to execute his plan, so he immediately started carrying it out.
First, he used his movement technique to run, faster than the mortal eye could even see, into one of the bonfires as he hid amongst the raging flames, and he waited for the people to call the demonic serpent that rested in the mountains for the sacrifice.
He waited for a few hours hiding and observing the tribe before it was finally time to call the serpent, all of the people with tearful expressions took the struggling unknown man and tied him around a tree, the expression on his face was that of uncontrolled terror.
Then they kowtowed towards the mountains and chanted in unison, "WE CALL THE SERPENT GOD ACCEPT THE OFFERING" still a long time passed with them chanting this phrase over and over, while the tied up man's expression got more and more desperate as he pleaded loudly for his life.
After chanting for longer than an hour suddenly a roar that shook the mountains sounded out and the trees around them started shaking. Then from the mountains far away on the horizon, a black shadow in the shape of an enormous serpent with giant feathered wings flew out.
As soon as Wang Wei saw it he executed his martial arts technique "Art of Boiling Seas" and all of the flames in the bonfire he was sitting in suddenly turned cyan and from them a giant entirely made out of flames formed.
But before any of the tribesmen could react that cyan flaming giant instantly flew out towards the shadow of the enormous serpent, as Wang Wei approached it he could finally see it in its entirety, its scales were as black as the night sky and on its serpent-like head, it had two horns.
Just as Wang Wei saw those two features he knew that this opponent would be extremely challenging, because those horns indicated that this demonic beast had a small amount of a dragon's bloodline which meant that it was much stronger than a demonic beast at the same rank.
Nevertheless, Wang Wei was still confident in being able to defeat it because of the Immortality that his ancestor provided him, as he had that thought suddenly a massive stream of water the size of an ordinary river exited the mouth of the demonic beast and it headed towards his flaming giant form.
