Demons are not monster-like creatures like Baronca.
Although the demon clan is savage, they have a complete social nature and have clear staged needs for survival. They will create and sort out the environment that is most suitable for them in their respective living environments. Even if you are nomadic, you will plan the number of livestock and the recycling of pasture. Ensure that you can have food to eat for generations to come.
Even after the physical cultivation lineage and monks emerged, the social nature of the demon clan still existed, and it still occupied the main position of the demon clan.
These are the same as human society. No matter how powerful the powerful people at the top are, they will not affect the main line of survival of the ethnic group.
But demons are different.
Demon, or demon cultivator. They are not essentially highly intelligent beings. Naturally, there is no complete sociality, let alone a large cross-ethnic society. What is followed is the law of the jungle, the law of the jungle.
In addition, the enlightenment of demon cultivators often does not include their "nature". In other words, there is no direct relationship between the nature of beasts and the "principles" they comprehend after becoming demon cultivators. Therefore, regardless of their cultivation level, the nature of beasts will still affect them all the time.
For example, fox demons like to eat human souls by nature.
For example, the snake demon has a greedy and corrupt nature.
...
These natures will even become less and less restrictive as their cultivation level improves. The longer time goes by, the more violations by demon cultivators will inevitably occur. It's almost inevitable.
Even in the legends of the great world that Zhang Yan knew. Demon cultivators are also a small group of cultivators who are surrounded by many controversies and survive in the cracks. There are good and bad among them. At the same time, there are also some monks who specialize in exterminating demons to oppose them. Maybe it's to get rid of evil, or maybe it's just to kill demons and get demon pills to use as medicinal materials.
Even when Zhang Yan went out with his talisman soldiers, his consciousness still shrouded the entire Huangtian Realm, and every move of the demon cultivator was the focus of attention. So there was no need for Yang Rui to report. In fact, Zhang Yan already knew everything about the demon cultivators.
The reason why he remained calm was because he should hand over whatever matters in the Huangtian Territory could be handed over. Wait for the people below to come and talk to you. Instead of Zhang Yan proposing it, the people below followed suit.
One is active and the other is passive. The difference is still huge.
Yang Rui's "only human race" is actually something Zhang Yan is happy to see. The cliff mountain lineage needs this kind of paranoid concept to exist, and this concept cannot be weak. It exactly conflicts with Liu Xin's concept of "big creatures". As for Wang Nian? Although he is in the middle, he is still slightly biased towards Yang Rui. That's why the "disciplinary" war formulated by Yang Rui can go so smoothly in the cliff mountain.
The result also satisfied Zhang Yan.
Remove most of the top-level power of demon cultivators. Then clear out the middle layer, leaving half of the bottom layer. It almost completely overthrew the demon cultivator's wealth that he had built over the past several hundred years. What remains is a "shelf". And this is exactly what Zhang Yan wants to see.
Even leaving Liu Yuqing alive was exactly what Zhang Yan wanted. His original intention was to save Liu Yuqing when he was about to die. Unexpectedly, Yang Rui thought so carefully that he could guess Zhang Yan's thoughts without any reminder.
Looking at Liu Yuqing who was kneeling on the ground with his head on the ground and shivering all over, Zhang Yan couldn't help but think of the scene when the little fox lay outside the window and eavesdropped on him preaching to his three disciples. At that time, the little fox was trembling all over, scared and excited.
"The reason why you are still alive now is because you have always restrained the demon cultivator below from letting loose and wreaking havoc. It can also be seen that you know that something will happen if you let the subordinates do this. But what you lack is control and iron-blooded strength. wrist.
and awe. "
In Zhang Yan's view, Liu Yuqing is the kind of demon cultivator who has a clear understanding of his own animal nature. And he also realizes that unrestricted animal nature will bring all kinds of troubles. Unfortunately, realizing it is one thing, but whether it can be changed is another. At least judging from the current results, Liu Yuqing is aware of the problem but does not have the matching means and courage to change the problem. He even had a "weak" attitude for a long time, which finally led to the evil cultivator's reputation in various places.
But skills can be learned, and courage can also be practiced. Understanding the bottom line of demon cultivation is what Zhang Yan values most. What's more, Liu Yuqing has a special characteristic that other demon cultivators do not have: it is the first real demon in the void world, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the ancestor. He has an unusual status advantage and absolute appeal over other demon cultivators.
So Liu Yuqing, the fox demon, still has uses.
"The little demon knows that he is wrong and asks the sect master to spare the little demon this time. From now on, the little demon will definitely obey his orders and will never let the demon cultivator cause trouble again!" Liu Yuqing also understood what Zhang Yan's appearance meant. He was really learning a "lesson" this time. If you don't take a stand, there's nothing left to live for.
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "You can actually learn more from the demon clan. Learn how they are self-sufficient in blood food. At least your goal of reviving the demon cultivator now is to solve this problem, right?
Look at this huge demon country sea area. There should be plenty of life inside. But now it is like a pool of stagnant water. The ferocity of the demon clan must be limited, otherwise it will only bring disaster to itself.
You should understand, right? "
"The little demon understands! The little demon understands!"
"Understood? Haha, let me show you something." Zhang Yan waved his hand as he spoke, and a densely packed huge star map appeared in the hall.
Zhang Yan said to Liu Yuqing, who was looking puzzled when he saw the star map for the first time: "This is part of the known area of the void world. Each of these light spots above is a star mark of the Great Shift. Some of them are star nodes, similar to hubs. And an ordinary star means an existing world, at least a world like the Wild Sky Domain, and many of them are larger worlds than the Wild Sky Domain."
"This... so much?!"
"More? Haha." Zhang Yan smiled and began to popularize the concepts in the void world to Liu Yuqing. These things are quite closed to the demon cultivators. Now it was like opening up a new world in Liu Yuqing's eyes.
...after one stick of incense. Even though Zhang Yan said it very simply, Liu Yuqing probably understood it.
"The Void World is extremely vast. There are countless worlds larger than the Wild Sky Realm. The creatures in each world are also different. Even if they are all human races, they can still tell the difference.
】
But demon cultivators are currently only found in the Desolate Heaven Domain. Do you know what this means? "
Before Liu Yuqing could speak, Zhang Yan continued: "It means that demon cultivators can easily take root in other worlds. Use the characteristics of demon cultivators to develop resources that are not valued in each world and grow rapidly."
