Above all spirits

Chapter 428 Power and True Nature (Part 2)

"Of course, I didn't intend to replicate it; I was just brainstorming and taking it as a reference."

Seeing that Gu Yun truly had no such intentions and remained quite indifferent, Lilia finally spoke.

"The path that is widely circulated within the tribe is actually just a rough framework; you can't understand it without your own experience."

Lilia reiterated the seriousness of the matter.

She wasn't thinking about Gu Yun, but rather about ensuring the safety of the nearly one hundred low-grade soul crystals she had collected.

"kindness....."

"The Azure Dragon Emperor initially chose the power of water as his element, constructing it into a cloud. At the time, all his fellow demons laughed at him for not having lofty ambitions, saying that a mere cloud could not possibly have a future."

"But precisely because he started from a low point, his path forward was very solid."

As she said this, Lilia's eyes shone brightly, showing her great admiration for the Azure Dragon Emperor.

"The inherent powers and strength of the Azure Dragon Clan are closely related. Combining his understanding of power, the Azure Dragon Emperor integrated it into the water element, creating the first exclusive power: Dripping Water Wears Away Stone. He then stepped into the Demon Lord realm and formed his own domain."

"Even so, there were still many of his own kind who rejected him at the time, because his domain was just clouds and mist, and its only purpose was to confuse the enemy. If it weren't for his power: dripping water wears away stone, he might have been the weakest demon lord."

"But then he mastered the elements of lightning and wind, integrating them into his own domain to form thunder and hurricanes, greatly increasing his killing power. From then on, none of his clansmen laughed at him anymore."

"In principle, a domain does not allow new forces to be integrated, but that only prohibits conflicting forces. For example, although the Azure Dragon Emperor has mastered the power of elemental rules, it is still very difficult for him to use and exert the power of fire element, because water and fire cannot coexist with him, which is contrary to the path he has taken."

"Conversely, forces that are mutually reinforcing and conform to the operating logic of the world's rules can be integrated into it, and this is also the correct way to enhance your domain power and ultimately reach the threshold of the rules."

Gu Yun said thoughtfully.

"So, it seems that to ultimately master a certain type of rule power, one doesn't need to understand all of those rules?"

Lilia thought for a moment and then replied.

"seems like it."

Because the power of rules was too far removed from her, she didn't think much about it.

"I see, I think I understand now, thank you very much."

Gu Yun was genuinely grateful to Lilia for telling him all this in such detail, even if she might only be doing it to repay him for the Soul Crystals he had given her.

"No, it's what I should do. In fact, the Star Moon Demon Clan's guidance to the younger generation should be even more detailed than what I'm saying... If you had listened carefully, you might have thought what I'm saying is extremely crude and not worth mentioning at all."

"Now, let's begin the real paid projects."

"You just said you wanted to divine how to advance further in the realm of a Demon General, right? To be honest, that's too broad a scope. The broader the scope, the more unpredictable the divination results become. Don't you really want to consider changing it?"

Lilia remembered Gu Yun's request and asked him about it.

"Is this so..."

Gu Yun murmured.

Lilia is an expert in this field. Since she can be recognized by the Eye of Calamity, she must have some skills.

She should take her advice.

Gu Yun asked casually.

"By the way, you mentioned earlier that the Azure Dragon Clan can choose to specialize in a particular element. Is this done with the help of some kind of external force?"

Lilia paused, looking at Gu Yun with suspicion, as if she were looking at a caveman.

"I'm sorry, but to be honest, if it weren't for the two captivating pentagram eyes beneath your brows and your generous spending, it would be hard to believe that you really come from a huge, top-tier royal family like the Star Moon Demon Clan."

"More like..."

Gu Yun replied with a natural smile.

"An unknown, low-level demon?"

"Hey! Don't name names! Who are you insulting by naming names?! You're defaming me!"

Werner's voice suddenly rang in Gu Yun's mind.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Gu Yun's natural question, while revealing Lilia's inner thoughts, undoubtedly put pressure on and made her feel constrained.

After all, admitting it would be a tacit denigration of the Star Moon Demon Clan, and such consequences were beyond what a mere demon general like her could bear, even with the apparent protection of the Eye of Calamity.

However, there is a reason for this; the Eye of Calamity will not face the Star-Moon Demon Clan to protect her.

"It's alright, actually we're in the same boat..."

Gu Yun's eyes were filled with melancholy.

If Gu Yun's guess is correct, Lilia must have been alienated by the Azure Dragon Clan for some reason.

A member of the clan who so yearns to become the Demon Dragon Emperor, yet doesn't develop within the clan, and instead settles peacefully in the Extreme Emperor Demon Realm, doesn't seem to be out training, coupled with that carefree attitude of just getting by day by day...

"You're also a... no... you also have divine blood?!"

Gu Yun: ∑(O_O；)

Werner: (⊙_◎)

Lilia: 【?_??】.....∑(;°Д°)！ ！ ！

Seeing Gu Yun's pupils dilate and contract in an instant, clearly showing shock, Lilia immediately realized she had said the wrong thing, covered her slightly open mouth, and lowered her head.

I initially thought Gu Yun said those things because she knew what had happened to her...

Silence descended quietly upon this small shop.

After a while, Gu Yun broke the silence first and spoke.

"Don't worry, I don't have any other opinion about you because of this. After all, I'm not having an easy time in my own clan either."

Lilia didn't look up, seemingly still preoccupied with something, but she did answer Gu Yun's question, her low, dejected voice slowly conveying her thoughts.

"Our Azure Dragon race's racial abilities are related to the natural climate, and we are highly adaptable to elemental power. We can indirectly master it with the help of certain special environments or medicinal herbs. This is why we need to reach at least the level of Demon General to master power. Demon General is a threshold. Only demons with demon bodies can strengthen their racial abilities and some inherent powers, and bear the burden of power or true form."

Gu Yun said softly.

"Thank you."

"Then, could you do a divination for me to find out where I can quickly master the power of the Death Rule?"

Upon hearing the words 'rules of death,' Lilia couldn't help but raise her head, staring at Gu Yun for a while. After confirming that Gu Yun wasn't joking and that he wasn't giving her any strange looks, she asked again.

"Are you sure it's a force from the side of the rules of death?"

Lilia didn't think the Star-Moon Demon Clan would be involved with the rules of death, because the abilities possessed by the two Demon Kings of the Star-Moon Demon Clan were known to the outside world.

One is the power rule that most people use to achieve the Demon King status. The power rule has a wide scope and many paths, and the Star Moon Demon Clan's talent is more likely to get closer to the essence of power.

The other is the spatial rules that enabled the Star Moon Demon Clan to become one of the three giants of the Demon Realm.
