The Yan Emperor Shennong Cave is said to be the hometown of the Yan Emperor Shennong. It was thousands of years ago that this ancient god tasted hundreds of herbs and tamed hundreds of beasts here. Of course, to be more precise, it created the existence of the beast clan.

First, let’s talk about the world view of the Immortal Sword World-

In the ancient times, the world was in a closed state of "chaotic", and an existence named "Pangu" was born there.

Pangu's body continued to grow, but the original chaotic state was split because it could not accommodate its body, and opened up the world - "clear energy" rose to the sky, and "turbid energy" settled into the earth. After Pangu's death, his essence, energy, and spirit differentiated into three innate gods, namely Fuxi, Shennong, and Nuwa, which are the "Three Emperors" known later generations. The "spiritual power" originally hidden in Pangu's body dissipated into the "five spirits" of water, fire, thunder, wind, and earth, which were scattered between heaven and earth.

Because there are too few creatures in the world, the Three Emperors create creatures in different forms.

Fuxi used the body of the divine tree to absorb the fruits of the clear energy of the divine realm, injecting his own powerful energy to create the "divine". Since the fruits of the divine tree are rare, the number of gods is very small, but the spiritual power is strong. The gods are not withstand the turbid air of the earth, so they live in the sky and form the "divine realm".

Shennong uses the earth, stone, grass and trees as the body, infuses his own strength to create "beasts", including beasts and insects. Because Shennong pays attention to quantity and ability, the species of beasts are numerous and have diverse abilities, but his mind is not enlightened or simple, and there are not so many flower thoughts.

Nuwa mixed earth and water, attached to her own blood and spiritual power, used willow branches to inspire it, shape it according to her own appearance, and created a "person". The human body is beautiful and wise, but has a weak physical strength. Although she has no special abilities, she has a strong comprehension.

...Then the question arises.

What is the relationship between the demon clan and the beast clan now? Is it related to Shennong?

It is indeed related, but it is not directly related. Just as humans will become "immortals" after successfully cultivating immortals, and the beast tribe becomes a demon tribe is also an evolution, and it belongs to the sublimation of the essence of life form.

However, before Shennong disappeared, the beast clan was still the beast clan. Until he could no longer bear the greed and oppression of the gods and men clans, and resisted under the leadership of a ruler with extremely intelligent intelligence, the traces of the demon clan gradually appeared.

It can be said that at least in this world, the true demon emperor is Chi You, but they are nostalgic and still highly respect their creators, so in the end, Shennong was still respected as the demon emperor... But it was indeed the demon clan showed no sign until the respectable god disappeared.

...

...

"It's probably here... Kikyo, come and take a look. You don't feel anything when standing outside the cave, but as long as you take a step inside, the scenery and temperature will immediately change." Pei Chen called Kikyo into the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave.

The extremely tall walls, the deep roads, and the boiling magma flowing, and the earth fires rise. The unimaginable high temperature and heat are actually bound in the cave and not emitted into the outside world. Once you cross the invisible but intangible dividing line, you feel as if you have entered a furnace of heaven and earth.

The terrifying heat coming towards us can definitely make a normal person dehydrate and faint in just one or two hours. Not only does a water creature like Pei Chen feel extremely hot as soon as he enters, but he almost wants to turn around and leave. Even Platycodon frowned. The natural environment here is too restrained by her terracotta figurine body.

Even the consumption of the Dead Soul began to intensify. If there was no supplement, she would only be able to live here for four or five days at most.

"The environment is too restrained... I wouldn't have learned the Water Spirit Immortal Art before I knew it. Now the Water Spirit attribute is high but it is just restrained." Pei Chen shook his head and said with a wry smile, and casually putting a layer of hazy water mist on himself and Kikyo's body to resist the invasion of the high temperature and heat from the outside. Kikyo raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Chen with some surprise.

She found that this guy's mastery of immortal arts, at least of the water spirit magic, was far beyond his own. The skill tree he learned yesterday morning was now able to use the water spirit power without formal constraints. Even Kikyo took several days to understand the essence of this power, and was not restricted by the formed spell model.

Of course, it can also be said that it was caused by the reason why Platycodon was unfamiliar with the Five Spirits Immortal Art, which is indeed a reason. But wasn’t Pei Chen the first time he came into contact with the theory and practical application of the Five Spirits Immortal Art? Before, he only knew that there was such a concept of power system!

"Well, a layer of water mist can last for about half an hour. It's just a few points of energy. The cost-effectiveness is pretty good..." Pei Chen said with a smile, then suddenly remembered something and his face became gloomy again. He looked at Kikyo helplessly, "That seems to be able to relieve physical discomfort, but he can't completely relieve the problem of rapid consumption of dead souls, right?"

The witch nodded slightly, her shortcomings and weaknesses were too obvious.

"Okay, enter here, there is a deep moon state, and it should be very safe there. If we can find it, you can rest there..." Pei Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "If it doesn't work, I have another way. What you lack is just mental power. At that time, just have a spiritual chain and then share mental power... Although that will happen, there will be about one-quarter to one-third of the unnecessary loss..."

"..." Kikyo hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.

She had already heard Pei Chen say that the area of ​​this place would be very large, and there were too many hidden secrets. Even the monsters themselves could not determine how long it would take to push the exploration progress to more than 50% - even if it was the Moon Secluded Realm, Thoreau Tree, Lava Beast King, Roasted Flame Stone, etc., it would only be 20% if it was 5% each!

In this case, it is impossible for me to drag him down because I am embarrassed to accept the other party’s mental gift. But if I have been staying in a safe place, it is definitely impossible to collect task items. At best, it is added an additional burden to Pei Chen.

"So, let's go...I'll go! Where did this guy come from?"

Pei Chen, who had just raised his hand and planned to shout a slogan to increase his confidence, turned around and kicked the side, swept the beast in the shape of a lion that rushed over. When the body of hundreds of kilograms flew out, the beast was smashed without even humming and died on the spot.

"Is this?..." Kikyo saw the hideous head of the thing and immediately became confused. Her body was obviously like a lion, so why was her head so weird?! She had never seen such a species in her memory, although the monsters in the Warring States Period were even more strange in shape.

"I remember it seems to be called... 再赢? It should be of this name, right?" Pei Chen kicked the body of the thing without knowing it. "I haven't seen such a cruel person. My demonic aura has been emitting all the time, but it actually pounced on him..."

Kikyo understood what Pei Chen was saying. Along the way, they would basically be blocked by monsters without intelligence like monsters.

Other monsters, monsters or simple beasts will respectfully avoid Pei Chen's demonic aura and even come to please him with food. When encountering a few real monsters by chance, they are also the kind that is very good at communicating with them, which fully allows the two to feel why the demon race is the most united and loving race in the world of fairy swords.

But the beasts here are completely different. Even if Pei Chen's aura is fully opened, it will not buy it at all, and just launch an attack directly. This is simply incredible.

"It's not unintelligible. Have you discovered that there is no sign of demonic energy and demonic power on them... It's isolated from the world and is still Shennong's territory. It is estimated that there has been no change in so many thousands of years. The creatures inside are still pure beasts... At most, they are just beasts with spiritual intelligence, strong strength, and able to practice."

Pei Chen also figured it out and said helplessly: "At most of all, they only know the gods and humans that appeared at the same time. As for the demons, what is that?...Haha, hehe, hehe."

"That's a problem... It seems that these pure beasts are all here?" Kikyo frowned. He thought that with Pei Chen's identity, he could reduce a lot of resistance here, but he didn't expect that this was just a useless work, and he still had to fight what he should fight.

"It's okay, I should have thought of it long ago. How could the promotion task be so simple... If there was no resistance, even if the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave was twice as big, I would be able to visit it in half a week!" Pei Chen did not react much. He had expected this situation. "I just don't know what kind of secrets are hidden here. It would be suitable for me to complete the promotion task... To be honest, Shennong's beast race route does not meet my route choice! If it were Chiyou, it would be possible..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly felt like he was having a whim: Could this place be connected to Chiyou's tomb, or was it just Chiyou buried here? After all, the Battle of Zhulu in ancient times has passed, and no one can tell the details of the time, only a rough idea—

It was deliberately processed by Emperor Fuxi. Pei Chen would not believe it if there was no private goods involved. Besides, the gods in the heavenly world seem to be the new generation of gods. In addition to the dragon holding a candle, only the ancient god-level existence like the Nine Heavens Xuannv could truly experience the situation of the ancient war.

Under such circumstances, who knows where Chi You died in the first place? It would probably not be impossible if it was in the Shennong Cave of Yan Emperor.

Pei Chen, who couldn't think of a reason, walked towards the depths of Shennong Cave first, followed by Platycodon. However, both of them were more vigilant. The monsters in this place were so strange. All of them were fire-attributed, and some were even swam around in the magma. They were fire-attributed immunity and even absorbed. Many physical attacks would rebound...

Although none of them became monsters, they are more cruel than many monsters. If they are placed outside, they are definitely small BOSS-level existences. The most troublesome thing is that many beasts have become elementalized or semi-elementalized, approaching a certain invincible state.

Although using water-based immortal arts can cause huge damage, in this environment where earth fire magma is everywhere, the water spirit power in the air is so pitifully small. If it relies entirely on its own spiritual power, the loss will be too high.

Therefore, Pei Chen and the others moved forward very slowly.

The only thing that is thankful is that the beast tribe is indeed as simple as the rumored. Unless they are hungry and want to prey, they will not be interested in paying attention to the two unprecedented species Pei Chen and Kikyo.

For example, the path they are walking on is a magma lake on both sides of the road, and there are more than a dozen crocodile-shaped creatures swimming around and circles. At most, they swim curiously to the feet of the two, and blow bubbles in the magma and reveal their two little eyes, watching them walk over.
