My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

Chapter 289 Refining the Soul Bead, Demon Clan Intelligence

He revealed endless regret, but Chu Lengyu remained calm and composed, her cold gaze showing no trace of sympathy.

There is no path of regret in this world; everyone must pay the price for their choices.

Wei Sheng's remorse was nothing but a futile struggle before his death; it could neither change his fate nor shake her resolve.

In the end, he was unable to utter any words of survival before he was annihilated in the cauldron.

The parasite's physical form is too fragile, like a bug that can be easily crushed on the roadside.

Even though Wei Sheng had been killed, Chu Lengyu's vigilance had not completely dissipated.

This demon's methods were too secretive and cunning, and the techniques he used were all things she had never seen before, which made her have to be on guard, for fear of making the slightest mistake.

However, in just a moment, a gray bead slowly emerged from inside the Qingzhou Cauldron, emitting a dim light.

The appearance of this bead instantly calmed Chu Lengyu's anxious heart.

As one of the Nine Cauldrons, the Qingzhou Cauldron has unique effects and holds the Soul Seal. In her vision, it is the most important cornerstone for building the Underworld and opening up a brand-new divine system.

In addition, it can also make up for her deficiencies in her spiritual power, allowing her to deal with enemies who are good at spiritual attacks with ease.

At this moment, the gray soul bead condensed by the Qingzhou Cauldron is the result of collecting the remaining fragments of Wei Sheng's soul after his death.

Although this soul bead can only be used by her once and will disappear without a trace after it is used up, its advantage lies in that it has no self-awareness, will not resist, and will not deliberately cheat.

Without hesitation, Chu Lengyu firmly grasped the gray soul bead that emitted a faint glow.

The moment she touched the Soul Pearl, an extremely cold aura rushed towards her.

This icy aura was mixed with countless fragments of memories, which surged into her consciousness like a tidal wave.

These memories are just fragments, incomplete, and sometimes out of order, but even so, they are enough to give Chu Lengyu a deeper understanding of the Parasite Clan, the Plague God, and the Demon Realm.

It turns out that the demonic cultivator in front of them, named "Wei Sheng," is actually named Ji Chao, and is a member of the Parasitic Clan.

Each cultivator can only risk possessing a body once in their lifetime, and even then, success is not guaranteed. However, parasites can possess bodies perfectly countless times.

Therefore, the Parasite Clan is a notorious and universally hated race, whether in the cultivation world or the demon world.

Imagine a sect that has gone through countless hardships to finally cultivate a gifted successor, full of expectations that he can lead the sect to glory.

How heartbroken and indignant it would be to discover one day that this successor has been parasitized.

Not only will all the hard work be wasted at this moment, but it may also bring endless disasters to the sect. For example, the entire sect may be parasitized without anyone noticing, becoming a hidden breeding ground for demons.

For example, it is already difficult for high-level cultivators to have children. A powerful being finally had a child, cherished him as a treasure, and poured everything into him. However, this child became a parasitic shell from a young age.

There are also those cultivators who have finally found a suitable partner. They know each other well and want to spend the rest of their lives together. However, one day, their partner suddenly becomes cold and ruthless, even abandoning their wife and children.

The clan leader suddenly underwent a drastic personality change, implicating the entire clan. In the end, it was discovered that the clan leader had been usurped by a parasitic species and was no longer the same person...

The Parasites are like parasites hiding in the shadows, silently devouring all living beings in the three thousand worlds.

They have committed countless sins, destroyed countless forces, and caused unbearable suffering to countless cultivators.

As long as the Parasite God lives, the Parasite Clan will never perish.

Chu Lengyu naturally also gleaned information about the God of Plague from Ji Chao's memories.

The eleven plague gods are Ghost Tiger, Plague, Evil Spirit, Ominous, Blame, Dream, Death by Dismemberment, Parasite, Observation, Giant, and Gu.

Each of them occupies a part of the demon realm and herds hundreds or thousands of lower realms, reaping faith and everything else.

Because of his race, Ji Chao rarely interacts with other demons. His friends are almost all members of the Parasitic Clan, because they share common interests and secrets.

Upon seeing this, Chu Lengyu's expression hardened.

She has pieced together the truth from scattered fragments of memory.

Ji Chao has already sent out a request for help, and his friends may have already set off.

The good news is that even with specific coordinates, it would take them at least several months to get to this realm, giving her time to prepare.

The bad news is: the opponent has reached the Nascent Soul stage, or even higher.
