Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 1818 - 1800: Run!

Upon hearing the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle’s words, Fang Yan nodded and immediately replied, "This question is actually quite simple; there are two paths you can take. The first is relying on elixirs, specifically those targeting demon beasts. Human elixirs have little effect on you, but such elixirs are extremely rare, especially higher grade ones. They’ve essentially disappeared, so low-level demon beasts can use this method to advance."

"As for high-level demon beasts, like those above the Demon Immortal Realm, the effect of regular elixirs is even less. In such cases, I suggest adjusting from the aspect of potential. The difference between demon beasts and humans is the physical body; your bodies are formidable, and there’s much you can unearth. It’s just that you never paid attention to these things."

"Potential?" Upon hearing this term, the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle didn’t understand what Fang Yan meant.

"To put it simply, humans can use methods exceeding conventional limits to unleash potential. You should understand that in life-and-death moments, you can often wield powers you could never control in normal times. These powers are potential. Constantly breaking your own limits and guiding out your potential is the most effective method."

"Of course, this refers to humans; demon beasts should also find corresponding methods. I’m merely pointing out a direction. As for how to unleash your potential, that’s something you’ll need to explore yourselves."

After pausing slightly, Fang Yan continued, "Actually, I’ve studied the fundamental differences between demon beasts and humans. I found that the essential difference lies in elemental affinity. Frankly, humans can cultivate because their elemental affinity is stronger than yours from birth. But the world is fair; humans’ bodies are far weaker compared to demon beasts. So human methods might not suit you. If my estimation is correct, if you can enhance your elemental affinity, you might discover something surprising."

Looking at the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle and numerous demon beasts, Fang Yan shared what he knew without fear they would become more formidable. On the contrary, he hoped they would grow stronger, as it wouldn’t relate to him but would instead trouble the sects here.

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s words, all the demon beasts fell into contemplation. They had never considered these aspects before, as human and demon beast cultivation methods were inherently different. If Fang Yan’s words were true, then their restriction lay in elemental affinity. If they could improve it, then their strength would gain an unprecedented boost.

But this matter was indeed challenging for them. They were long accustomed to fighting with physical bodies, always seeking to enhance their power levels. Finding a way to improve elemental affinity left them bewildered, not knowing what to do...

Though many were confused, not everyone was. Fang Yan’s words made the Red Rock Profound Dragon Turtle at the Demon Venerable Realm’s eyes light up, and its gaze toward Fang Yan changed. It immediately thanked Fang Yan, "Thank you, Mr. Fang, for your guidance. I understand!"

After thanking Fang Yan, it excitedly left because it had thought of a suitable place...

"Mr. Fang, please give us guidance..."

"Mr. Fang, please give us guidance..."

...

Afterward, numerous demon beasts began consulting Fang Yan about various matters, including cultivation and other issues that had puzzled them for a long time. Fang Yan answered each question if he knew the answers, earning the goodwill of many demon beasts.

Once all the questions from the demon beasts were answered, Fang Yan started inquiring about the matters of the Holy Soul Continent. These demon beasts, having lived for hundreds or even thousands of years, knew an enormous amount, and they began to recount the affairs of the Holy Soul Continent and the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm.

This conversation lasted several days, giving Fang Yan a whole new understanding of both the Holy Soul Continent and the entire Eternal Joy Immortal Realm. He also received a quite unexpected piece of information: a mysterious cave had recently appeared in the Heaven Demon Forest, strange in that no demon beast could enter, leaving its contents unknown.

Upon receiving this news, an idea formed in Fang Yan’s mind. If his estimation was correct, it might be some sort of ancient ruins, but the Heaven Demon Forest was incredibly formidable, with no humans venturing inside to explore. Thinking of this, he resolved to explore this peculiar cave!

As the conversations were nearing their conclusion, Fang Yan suddenly thought of Qin Kun and Wu Shan, and he immediately requested Ba Qing to bring them over. Ba Qing naturally wouldn’t object and left swiftly...

Both Qin Kun and Wu Shan had now reached the later stage of the Earth Covering Realm after just a few months, a progress they never imagined to be so extraordinarily fast, unmatched by anyone.

However, Fang Yan hadn’t been seen for over two months, nor had there been any news, leaving them worried. After all, the Heaven Demon Forest wasn’t an ordinary place; they hadn’t ventured deep yet, for entering deeper would certainly lead to encounters with demon beasts of the Demon King, Demon Immortal, or Demon Venerable Realm, a danger obvious even to fools.

But with Fang Yan not returning, they dared not act rashly; the currently encountered demon beasts were already at their limit. Moreover, the elixirs Fang Yan left them were for cultivation, not healing. If injured while challenging demon beasts again, recuperation would take too long, rendering the risk unworthy.

"What should we do now? We can’t just stay here if Boss Fang Yan...," Wu Shan said with furrowed brows. Despite his belief that Fang Yan would be fine, he worried nonetheless, the prolonged waiting gnawing at his heart.

"Rest assured, no one’s a match for Boss. Besides, these demon beasts are no concern. Boss’s prowess is beyond estimation, so let’s stay put as instructed and avoid distracting him," Qin Kun replied, also anxious but understanding that fretting was useless, realizing that if there were any danger, Fang Yan would surely retreat unscathed.

"You’re right, I’m just worried!"

"I think Boss will be fine. Let’s follow his instructions and focus on cultivation."

"What do you think Boss will encounter?"

"Who knows? We’ll only find out when Boss appears."

...

Seeing not a trace of Fang Yan, Qin Kun and Wu Shan couldn’t concentrate on cultivation, chatting about their concerns for Fang Yan, curious about his whereabouts and doings over the past months without news...

But just as they were in conversation, unexpectedly, an old man appeared before them, nearly causing them to panic. They recognized the elderly figure as a transformed Demon Immortal Realm beast, the beastly aura undeniable!

"Run!"

They exchanged quick glances, shouted, and dashed in one direction. While they could take on a Half-Step Demon King, against a Demon Immortal Realm beast, they had but a slim chance if they ran, as staying meant sure death!

But just as they moved and barely covered ten or so yards, the elder’s voice halted them.

"No need to run. If I wanted you dead, you’d already be gone. Your boss sent me to fetch you; you’re Qin Kun and Wu Shan, correct?" Ba Qing said amusedly, knowing they had no chance to escape if he intended harm.

Upon hearing Ba Qing’s words, Qin Kun and Wu Shan stopped, realizing the truth in his statement. Before a Demon Immortal Realm beast, they compared to mosquitoes, easily slain without escape prospects.

Moreover, the mention of their names and being sent by their Boss drew them back, understanding that Boss had subdued this beast and dispatched it to find them.

Despite disbelief at Fang Yan taming a Demon Immortal Realm beast, the evident scenario forced belief. Turning toward Ba Qing, they saw him smiling without hostility, finally feeling relieved.

"Where’s our Boss?" Qin Kun asked.

"He’s at my lair, 800 miles away," Ba Qing answered with a smile.

"Why didn’t our Boss come here?" Wu Shan queried.

"Mr. Fang has other matters there; fetching you is naturally my task," Ba Qing replied, still smiling, "Alright, don’t overthink it. Coming with me to see him sorts everything out; surely you want to see your boss, or do you believe you can escape me? I mean no harm, simply fulfilling Mr. Fang’s orders."

On hearing this, and exchanging a glance, they saw mutual understanding and slowly nodded. With the situation thus, listening to Ba Qing was their only option, and they keenly desired to see their Boss.

Seeing no resistance from them, Ba Qing smiled and swiftly approached them, grabbing each in one hand, and flew toward a distant location...
