Starting My Cultivation With Time Management - Chapter 1138: Postscript: Two or Three Daily Matters of the Demon World

Chapter 1138: Postscript: Two or Three Daily Matters of the Demon World

On a certain day of a certain month, Chen Zi’ang gradually awoke from his meditative concentration and suddenly realized that something was amiss around him.

He should have been in a meditative state with Jiang Lian in the main hall of the Mortal Life Path on Mount Wutai. But now, it seemed that they were no longer on Mount Wutai.

No, it should be said they were not in the Cultivation Realm anymore, but instead were trapped in a special cave world.

Because the spiritual energy around was almost nonexistent, a cave that deliberately restricts spiritual energy is usually used to imprison cultivators.

Heh, who would have thought that I, Chen Guanshui, would stumble upon a Heavenly Demon after walking half a lifetime.

Speaking of which, previously, in order to ascend to the Sky Throne, I truly tricked Madam. I originally thought she would kill me, but now it seems she only captured and imprisoned me. Should I feel grateful?

No seal on me, do you think my existence as a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal is fake?

Chen Guanshui stood up, checked himself thoroughly, confirmed that he had no restrictions placed on him, and that his daoist magic techniques could still be smoothly executed.

After once again surveying his surroundings, he suddenly noticed that the interior decor of this room was rather peculiar.

Being a renowned artifact refining master, although Chen Guanshui specialized in formations and cauldron casting, he also dabbled in various architectural styles from different eras. Whether it be the ancient Clarify Cult or Intercepting Cult, the ancient Human Race or Demon Race, he could even recognize the styles favored by the Great Shamans.

But now the interior decor couldn’t correspond with any style in his memory. The lines were twisted and not smooth, the shapes were bizarre and irregular, and the colors were vibrant yet formless, evoking a feeling of nausea just by looking at them.

However, they were indeed just a style of decoration and not some peculiar formation or runic script.

The door to the room wasn’t locked. Chen Guanshui pushed it open and stepped outside, finding a long corridor with a palace-like style.

Additionally, there were no windows.

This was rather strange. Although cultivators could enter a state of turtle breathing and didn’t need to breathe, it didn’t mean they didn’t like fresh air. Cave abodes generally paid attention to ventilation.

Yet this corridor not only had no windows, the air was also stuffy and stagnant… to be precise, it was so thin it almost didn’t flow at all.

As Chen Guanshui walked along the corridor, he suddenly felt something strange: it seemed like something was watching him.

But using his divine sense to scan the area, he found no suspicious presence.

Ah Jing only gave him the Time-Space Teleportation Technique but didn’t give him scanning ability. After all, being a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal now, apart from needing to divide himself to be with his various wives, in what circumstances would he really need scanning?

But this current situation… truly felt quite tricky.

Chen Guanshui’s thoughts turned, and suddenly an idea popped up, so he turned around and spoke loudly:

“Stop hiding! I’ve seen you, come out!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than a soft voice piped up:

“As expected of my brother-in-law, I…”

Then many women’s voices arose:

“Don’t believe him!”

“Are you foolish, he’s bluffing you!”

“If he really saw you, why would he call you out?”

The women’s voices chattered noisily for a while and quickly quieted down again.

Chen Guanshui felt a tingling at the back of his head, guessing he was probably brought back to his in-laws by Madam Jiang.

And those around him, unseen and silent, were surely her four hundred and ninety-nine younger sisters, he who transformed into the Great Unrestrained Heavenly Demon!

The power of a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal is limitless, able to wander the universe without fearing heavenly demons; that means they wouldn’t be piled to death by the immortal bodies of heavenly demons, not that a Chaotic Great Luo Golden Immortal could easily defeat them… hence Chen Guanshui felt a chill up his spine and quickly went searching for Madam Jiang.

“Wife, if you don’t come out, your sisters-in-law are going to devour me!”

Undoubtedly underestimating the reputation of Li An, the Great Heavenly Demon. Surely heavenly demons have no age or life span, the strongest takes the title of eldest sister, and Jiang Lian now claims the role of eldest among five hundred demonesses, none of the remaining four hundred and ninety-nine dares challenge this, showing her notorious fame nearly rivaling the Demon King of old.

Since the eldest sister didn’t speak, who dared enjoy the brother-in-law? It was out of the question.

While Chen Guanshui sought his wife everywhere, Jiang Lian was at the deepest part of the Demon Palace, searching through the records left behind by the former Demon King father.

The Great Heavenly Demons are not flesh-and-blood beings and therefore do not possess reproductive abilities. It is wishful thinking for her to bear children for her husband, but then…

If heavenly demons cannot reproduce, then where did I come from? It couldn’t be that I jumped out from a star or floated out of a celestial river and was just picked up by Father?

There were also five hundred demonesses besides me, exactly a round number!

The techniques of the heavenly demons mostly stem from their innate divine skills, and if they learned anything from the outside world, they mostly kept it in their memory and didn’t deliberately write it down.

But the Demon King, having an unusually proud personality, wanted all of his daughters to recite his grand accomplishments verbatim, so Jiang Lian guessed he would most likely leave some writings to boast about himself.

She finally found some clues after searching in the deep reaches of the Demon Palace for a long time.

According to Jiang Lian’s knowledge, heavenly demons being immortal in this universe are at a fixed number, neither increasing nor decreasing—otherwise, if they kept birthing indefinitely, things would go haywire since they don’t die.

But according to the materials left behind, it could be inferred that the Demon King father used a rather rare method of self-fragmentation.

For instance, just as the Human Race grows hair and nails, heavenly demons could split their intangible bodies. Naturally, this would have no consciousness, as it is an extension of their own will.

Then, the Demon King must have used some technique to sever his separated will.

The severed will, after development, would eventually become a heavenly demon with its own independent consciousness. However, since the total number of heavenly demons in the universe remains constant, if the Demon King is counted as one heavenly demon, using this method to create demonesses means the Demon King and the demonesses would each be half, so the total remains unchanged.

Which means the true origin of the five hundred demonesses was that the Demon King split himself into five hundred parts?

Jiang Lian grew more convinced of the possibility; this indeed seemed like something the Demon King father’s personality would do—I, whose demonic power and imposing force surpass ordinary heavenly demons by five hundred times, find nothing challenging left in this world.

Therefore I divide myself into five hundred parts, each of my daughters inherits one five-hundredth, continuing my will to dominate the universe!

Tsk tsk, is this the love and expectation parents have for their children?

Jiang Lian found herself more moved the more she thought about it, further solidifying her determination to give birth to a child, but if it were only self-fragmentation without her husband’s contribution, would this child acknowledge it?

She still needed to think of a way to take something from him and incorporate it into the fragmentation process.

While scheming in her curious plans, suddenly a sister came looking:

“Sister, brother-in-law is looking for you everywhere!”
