Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Manufactured!

To be exact, they were refined!

These demons, rather than being a type of life, are more like a kind of biological tool.

From the moment of their birth, they had a detailed genetic evolution sequence and only needed to continuously devour the brain marrows of intelligent beings to perfect their thinking consciousness and nourish their "god" to further tap into their genetic power and obtain stronger forms.

This was Alkaid's understanding and cognition.

In the cognition of this demon, consuming humans initiated intelligence, and absorbing spirits led to transformation.

This is their way of survival, their way of growth.

Just like humans start with milk powder as infants and eat meals as they grow up.

The difference is, humans are numerous and varied.

Yet a batch of demons are all separated from the same life entity, gradually grow, and at some future moment, return to this life entity and merge into it.

This life entity...

"Demon Lord."

Alkaid uttered.

No wonder all the demons he had killed had a common name—Horned Demons.

The only difference was the rank.

These Horned Demons, while individuals, were independent from the outside.

Yet also a whole, eventually merging into one.

"What is this? Clones, alien invasion?"

Alkaid was somewhat shaken in his mind.

A scientific understanding would be an alien invasion.

A bit more fantastical...

He thought of the Blood Demon's Divine Blood children.

"Huff!"

Alkaid let out a long breath.

The complexity of this demon invasion was deeper than he had anticipated.

It was tantamount to an alien invasion.

Only, the method of invasion was not with universe warships and Star Destroyer Cannons, but through "Horned Demons," a method similar to "Divine Blood children," infiltrating into the Human Race.

And the existence of this "Demon Lord"...

Made Alkaid even more determined to become a Human Immortal in the future.

"Immortal."

He uttered this word.

Riding the winds to travel, entering the Northern Sea at dawn and Cangwu by dusk.

Feasting on wind, sipping the dew, transcendent and carefree, and eternally free.

That was the ultimate romance for mankind.

If one day in the future he could really reach such a state, to fly freely at supersonic speeds through the atmosphere like an Immortal...

Seeing the jungle landscapes of Southern Continent in the morning, touring the sprawling mountains of East Continent at noon, admiring the vast ice and snow of Northern Continent in the afternoon, and experiencing the immensity of life's forbidden zones in the quiet deserts of Western Continent at night.

What freedom that would be?

Alkaid's gaze refocused on the ancient tree in his Spiritual World.

Originally, he had intended to channel these "energies" into his Artifact Refining profession to better utilize the Soul Subduing Bead to discover the true nature behind these demons.

Now...

He simply wished to focus on elevating his own Martial Dao Realm and glimpse the landscape above the Fifth Rank.

"I wonder what Rank I need to achieve to fly, and how much higher to break the sound barrier like a true Immortal, ascend to space, and travel thousands of miles in an instant upon the astral winds."

Alkaid looked forward to it.

While digesting the information that the growth of the Martial Path branches had brought, Alkaid returned to the Baisheng Chemical Plant.

By this time, Xia Wuyuan and Yue Xingzhou had already cleansed the entire factory.

Over ten people had been captured and controlled.

The rest, most were killed, with a few directly fleeing.

At this moment, the Yue Family's driver, who had driven here with three people, was holding a gun and watching over the controlled individuals.

Alkaid did not exchange many greetings and quickly entered the main building of the factory, soon found Xia Wuyuan.

At this moment, Xia Wuyuan was continuously collecting documents, busy beyond measure.

In another room...

He saw Yue Xingzhou.

At this time, this Grandmaster looked noticeably unusual.

In front of him were six boxes.

Each box seemed technologically sophisticated, including two that were open, which clearly had internal temperature control features.

Alkaid approached...

Inside the boxes, there was a tube of reddish-gold liquid.

"This is..."

Alkaid instantly guessed what it was, "Divine Blood?"

Yue Xingzhou nodded his head.

Alkaid immediately raised his gun without hesitation.

"Bang!"

The contents inside the boxes were directly shattered.

"Wait!"

Yue Xingzhou was startled and quickly said, "What are you doing?"

"Exactly what you see."

Alkaid continued to shoot and shatter the contents.

"Do you know how expensive this stuff is!?"

Yue Xingzhou hurriedly said, "Six hundred million!"

He looked at the boxes and quickly said, "One tube is six hundred million! There are six tubes here, that's a total of three-point-six billion!"

Three-point-six billion!

This number made Alkaid's movements briefly pause.

But thinking about how this substance had been refined...

He hesitated no more and shot again.

"This kind of thing should not exist."

Alkaid said.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Bang bang bang!"

All the Divine Blood in the five boxes was completely destroyed.

This scene made Yue Xingzhou's eyebrows twitch.

But ultimately...

He didn't say anything more.

It was Xia Wuyuan who, upon hearing the gunfire, came over and upon noticing that Alkaid was about to destroy all the Divine Blood, said, "Keep a tube as evidence to take with us."

Alkaid paused, then turned his gaze towards Xia Wuyuan, "Are you sure it will be taken as evidence?"

"I..."

Xia Wuyuan thought of the lists recorded in the materials he had obtained...

Took a deep breath, "I will personally take this box, along with the relevant materials, to the capital and present them to His Majesty!"

Seeing this, Alkaid put away his gun.

"Present them to His Majesty..."

Yue Xingzhou heard what Xia Wuyuan said and gave a wry smile.

He knew the people behind Yulong International had great power, but he hadn't expected things to have escalated to this extent.

Xia Wuyuan clearly no longer trusted anyone in Tian Nan Province, including his direct superior, Zhou Tianqiao, and Lu Zhenhai, to the extent that he planned to use the prosecutor's rarely exercised privilege to bypass the sixth level and present the matter directly to the king.

This action...

Could well offend the entire prosecutorial system.

"You don't plan to report this matter locally?"

Yue Xingzhou asked.

Xia Wuyuan shook his head.

The prosecutorial office must have had some clues about this, but they had done nothing.

Even...

Thinking back to what Zhou Tianqiao had said to him not long ago, he even suspected that this Senior Deputy Prosecutor, just like Yue Xingzhou and others, had long known about this matter.

But considering the enormous stakes involved, he had chosen to pretend ignorance.

After all...

The list he had just obtained didn't exactly sweep up all the powers of Tian Nan, but it certainly included most of them.

Therefore...

"I will take these materials and leave for the capital tonight."

Xia Wuyuan understood the principle that speed is of the essence in warfare.

Yue Xingzhou didn't speak.

The Yue family was implicated in this matter, and at this moment, his intervention could at best be regarded as compensating for past mistakes.

Whether he could completely detach the Yue family from this incident was still very much in question.

"Please be very careful before any actions are taken above."

Xia Wuyuan spoke solemnly to Alkaid.

Alkaid nodded but did not respond.

And Xia Wuyuan, recalling the scene of their joint battle against that Demon Martial Saint...

Well.

With his strength, there was nobody in Tian Nan Territory who could openly threaten him, not completely ruling out the possibility, but on the surface, definitely no one.

Unless regular army troops were mobilized to surround and annihilate him with concentrated firepower.

At that moment, Xia Wuyuan stopped speaking, quickly organized the materials, and hurriedly left.

"Let's go, I will have someone notify the Security Bureau to wrap this up shortly."

Seeing Xia Wuyuan's quick departure, Yue Xingzhou said.

Alkaid nodded.

The two exited the main building and headed towards the vehicles parked outside the factory.

Upon exiting the factory, Yue Xingzhou took the initiative to invite, "This night has been too thrilling; how about finding a place to talk things over and relax a bit?"

Alkaid gave him a weird look.

What relaxation could there be in interacting with an old man like him?

Yue Xingzhou seemed to have caught the meaning behind Alkaid's look, suddenly feeling somewhat awkward, "That... I have a granddaughter, not bad-looking... maybe I can call her over..."

"Let's go, back to the city center."

Alkaid said.

Yue Xingzhou was helpless.

He was intent on making a good connection with Alkaid.

A nineteen-year-old Grandmaster, anyone could see the immense potential he embodied.

But...

As a Grandmaster and a member of the Yue Family, people usually sucked up to him and tried to please him, making this kind of proactive friendly approach...

He really wasn't great at it.

Not to mention the considerable age difference between them.

He couldn't possibly invite Alkaid to his teahouse for tea.

However...

"Do you really intend to work with Xia Wuyuan to completely investigate this matter?"

Yue Xingzhou said meaningfully, "From the surface, the chief culprit of this matter is Governor Zhao, but think about it... could this network really be confined to just Tian Nan Province?"

"You're not going to tell me it also involves the Royal Family, are you?"

Alkaid said.

"This world is not as black and white as we might think; the so-called Royal Family... isn't necessarily noble and great..."

Yue Xingzhou said and laughed, "The essence of the Royal Family is that they are the most powerful among the Noble Families! It's just that in recent years, with the Royal Family being powerful, it has led the Noble Families to lose much of their prestige, seeming to be subordinates to the Royal Family, but actually a century ago...

the saying that the Noble Families and the Royal Family ruled the world together wasn't without basis."

"What are you trying to say?"

Alkaid said.

"Not in an official position, not scheming for power, you have investigated to this point, that's already quite something. Going forward, it would be wise to step back... Let the professionals handle it."

Yue Xingzhou said earnestly.

Alkaid looked at him.

He knew if it weren't for the fact that he had saved Yue Xingzhou's life in front of that Demon Martial Saint recently, he might not be sharing this advice.

Shallow relations, yet deep conversations.

"If there's no result on Xia Wuyuan's side, I indeed don't plan to continue the investigation."

Alkaid said.

"That's good."

Yue Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he seemed to think of something.

After contemplating for a moment, he continued, "About the Ji Shi Club... if possible... I suggest you join it."

"It looks like you know more about this organization than just what's on the surface."

Alkaid said.

"I can only tell you, if you really can join it, do not miss out. It truly is a place that can transform you from a fish into a dragon. Once you seize that opportunity... whether it's monsters or Noble Families, even the Dayu Royal Family won't be a problem for you."

Yue Xingzhou said, without continuing further.

The two got into the car.

After waiting a moment, the driver returned and quickly drove them toward the capital.
