Chapter 1: The Pure Men’s Hunting Party

Qu Yi obtained the Luo Hun Stone and realized that his five avatars were about to reach a breakthrough. So, he left the Demon Realm and decided to go to the Fiend Realm to rest for a while.
At that time, Qu Yi arrived in the Mu Lin Star Region of the Fiend Realm and met up with Shui Zun, who had already arrived there.
“Shui Zun, are Xiang Zheng and Xiang Chun still in hiding?” Qu Yi asked with a smile as he sat down on a mountain peak.
Over the years in the Fiend Realm, besides gathering information about various forces there, Shui Zun had also been tracking Xiang Zheng and Xiang Chun.
“Yes, their mission is the same as that of Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong—they’re tasked with gathering information about the Chuan Tian Stone and the Luo Hun Stone,” Shui Zun replied with a smile.
Qu Yi laughed.
Chang Xin had established the Tian Mu Organization in the Immortal Realm, assigning members to complete various tasks. If they failed, they would be sent to the Demon Realm or the Fiend Realm to carry out tasks.
The fact that Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, Xiang Zhong, Xiang Zheng, and Xiang Chun had all been given the same task made Qu Yi even more convinced that Chang Xin was planning something big—only the Chuan Tian Stone and the Luo Hun Stone were still missing.
“Xiang Zheng and Xiang Chun are still at the level of Three-Star Earth Soul Immortals, right? Never mind. Now that we’re here, we shouldn’t keep an eye on them. Let’s just explore this Fiend Realm thoroughly,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
“Agreed,” Shui Zun replied immediately.
Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun also smiled.
“Then, you four enter the Cun Jie Ball and raise your cultivation to the Upper Earth Soul Immortal level,” Qu Yi said calmly.
“Understood,” the four lords replied with smiles.
After sending the four lords into the Cun Jie Ball, Qu Yi flew off the mountain peak to visit Feng Zhen Star first.
※※※
Feng Zhen Star had only one continent, with plateaus on both the north and south sides. Only the central area running east to west was flat.
The plateaus on the north and south were full of dangerous places, occupied by powerful fiends.
As a result, most of the weaker fiends on Feng Zhen Star lived in the flatlands, forming various tribes.
The flatlands were constantly blown by strong winds. This plain was called the Feng Zhen Plain.
In the center of the Feng Zhen Plain lay the Hundred Beasts Spring, a place where various fiends on Feng Zhen Star met, as well as a connection point between them and other living planets.
At that moment, Qu Yi flew down from the sky and landed right at the edge of the Hundred Beasts Spring.
An overwhelming presence of fiends filled the air.
In the Fiend Realm, there were only fiends. Anyone from the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm who entered would face pursuit by them.

Unless the cultivators from other realms who entered the Fiend Realm hid well enough or possessed magical artifacts that could mimic the aura of fiend beasts, they could not avoid being detected by them. In the Fiend Realm, strength was also divided into three tiers: Primordial Fiends, Earth Fiends, and Heavenly Fiends. Further subdivided, there were Primordial Soul Fiends, Primordial Spirit Fiends, Earth Soul Fiends, Earth Spirit Fiends, Heavenly Soul Fiends, and Heavenly Spirit Fiends. Once one reached the level of a Primordial Fiend, they could transform into human form. Taking on a human shape was a symbol of great strength. Therefore, as soon as Qu Yi landed, several Great Vehicle-stage Storm Wolves rushed over, trembling with fear. “Powerful one, we didn’t come to offend you,” the ten Storm Wolves cried in trembling voices. Qu Yi was in human form, indicating that his cultivation had surpassed that of a Primordial Fiend. How could these Storm Wolves, still in beast form at the Great Vehicle stage, not be afraid? “Leave. I won’t kill you,” Qu Yi said indifferently, not even glancing at them as he flew straight ahead. The ten Storm Wolves quickly fled. “He’s too powerful. This senior fiend beast doesn’t emit any strong aura of fiend essence; he seems quite ordinary.” “Incredible. Are there such fiend beasts in the Fiend Realm that can conceal their aura of fiend essence?” “The Fiend Realm is so vast—anything could appear as a fiend beast.” “Thankfully, this senior fiend beast didn’t blame us; otherwise, our hundred-thousand years of cultivation would have been ruined.” … As soon as the ten Storm Wolves left, they began to express their awe. Qu Yi’s body was a Chaos Body, so how could it emit the fluctuations of the Five Elements fiend essence? Earlier, it was precisely because Qu Yi’s aura was so plain when he landed that the Storm Wolves were attracted, mistaking him for prey. Flying in the air, Qu Yi continued toward the center of the Hundred Beasts Spring. “With my human form and the special aura emitted by my Chaos Body, the powerful beings in the Fiend Realm surely can’t guess that I come from the Immortal Realm,” Qu Yi thought to himself. When powerful fiend beasts transform into human form, in addition to emitting the aura of the Five Elements fiend essence, they also release a unique beastly aura. However, Qu Yi’s special Chaos Body indeed allowed him to deceive the senses of the powerful beings in the Fiend Realm. As Qu Yi flew in the air, waves of fiend beasts appeared on the land below, some of them having transformed into human form. “Purple Gold Ape Monkeys, Shadow-Chasing Wolf Packs, Snow-Winged Dragon Horses…” “That human-shaped Primordial Fiend has golden horns, that human-shaped Earth Fiend still has iron claws for fingers, and that snake-like Earth Fiend has turned into a human body with a snake tail…” Flying above, Qu Yi saw various strange species of fiend beasts.

“There is a spiritual spring there, surrounded by a hundred thousand different caves,” the Artifact God suddenly transmitted his voice.
Qu Yi immediately looked north and indeed saw a vast complex of buildings, each housing a powerful demon beast. It seemed that these buildings were connected to a spiritual spring that kept gushing forth water.
The Hundred Beasts Spring had a hundred such spiritual springs, allowing demon beasts to quickly absorb their essence and enhance their cultivation.
“That spiritual spring is still inferior to the primal spiritual veins, but it’s comparable to primal mineral veins,” Qu Yi mused.
Without lingering, he flew straight to the heart of the Hundred Beasts Spring.
The Teleportation Hall was right there.
However, instead of heading to the hall first, Qu Yi landed in a special place—the area where the most demon beasts gathered.
The Hunting Guild!
After years among demon beasts, Shui Zun had learned that among the groups of demon beasts traveling between different planets, hunting parties played a major role.
Hunting parties were akin to adventure groups in the Demon Realm, formed by various demon beasts working together.
Qu Yi arrived at the Hunting Guild.
“Hey, friend. Want to form a hunting party? Let’s do it together.”
As soon as Qu Yi arrived, a tall man with a dark appearance approached, exuding an overwhelming aura of a demon beast.
“Oh, I’m just browsing around,” Qu Yi said with a smile, though inwardly he thought, “A violent earth bear at the level of a Earth Soul Demon wants to form a hunting party with me? That’s not going to be easy.”
The Artifact God had already told Qu Yi about this tall man’s cultivation level.
Seeing Qu Yi’s disinterest, the man snorted, said nothing more, and immediately turned to look for other demon beasts.
Qu Yi continued walking forward, aiming to enter the guild hall.
The ground was filled with humans transformed from demon beasts, emitting not only the aura of the Five Elements Demon Essence but also various other demon beast auras—fierce, domineering, murderous, bloody, cold…
These auras had no effect on Qu Yi, and he quickly entered the guild hall.
The hall was very simple. Compared to the various trade alliances in the Immortal Realm or the adventure guilds in the Demon Realm, this hall was plain and unadorned. Huge rocks were roughly cut to form walls, and large trees were cut down to serve as desks.
“Interesting,” Qu Yi smiled.
In the Demon Realm, since it was inhabited by demon beasts, crafts, architecture, art, and so on were indeed very simple.
Qu Yi paid no attention to these external things; his gaze was already fixed on the various facilities in the hall.

Group formation area, mission area, handover area.
“I’ll go form a hunting party first,” Qu Yi thought to himself.
Immediately, Qu Yi arrived at the group formation area.
A huge tree trunk was cut into flat, rectangular pieces to serve as a desk. Behind the desk stood two feline girls, both having reached the level of Yuanpo Yao and thus taking human form.
“Wanderer, do you wish to establish a hunting party?” One of the feline girls spoke up.
Those who came to the Hunting Guild were all called wanderers.
“Yes!” Qu Yi smiled.
The feline girl immediately showed her white teeth and said gently, “Wanderer, please give me your identity card and tell me the name of your hunting party, and I’ll help you create a party card.”
In the Yao Realm, forming a hunting party was very simple. All that was needed was the applicant’s identity card and the name of the party to easily establish one. Yao beasts naturally valued freedom, and this Hunting Guild also followed that tradition, granting full freedom to all Yao beasts.
Qu Yi immediately took out a finger-long card and handed it to the feline girl.
Shui Zun had already obtained an identity card in the Yao Realm, so Qu Yi used that card as his identity there.
“The name of the party will be ‘Pure Guys,’” Qu Yi said at the same time.
Pfft!
Not only the feline girl handling Qu Yi’s affairs but also many of the human-shaped Yao beasts around him couldn’t help but let out a laugh, then watched Qu Yi with amusement.
What a unique name!
Qu Yi remained calm, smiling at the feline girl.
“Oh… I’ll take care of it right away.” The feline girl became flustered for a moment before taking the identity card to handle the matter.
After a while, she returned to the wooden desk with a three-finger-width card along with Qu Yi’s identity card.
“Kaxuri, your ‘Pure Guys’ hunting party has been registered. It’s currently at the level of a three-star Di Po Yao,” the feline girl said with a somewhat alluring smile.
Kaxuri was the name on the identity card Qu Yi had shown.
“Thank you. Here’s a six-star Yuanpo Yao-level sword for you,” Qu Yi said. He took back the two cards and handed over an immortal weapon to the feline girl.
In the Immortal Realm, strength was divided into Human Immortals, Earth Immortals, and Heaven Immortals. In the Yao Realm, strength was divided into Yuan Yao, Di Yao, and Tian Yao.
Therefore, the levels of magical artifacts were also corresponding.
“Ah…” The feline girl stared at Qu Yi in surprise.
The other Yao beasts around her also looked at Qu Yi in amazement.

Demonic artifacts are extremely precious in the demon world, as few demon beasts can craft them. Demon beasts generally fight using their own bodies, and even when they take human form, they use parts shed from their bodies to create demonic artifacts.
Qu Yi simply nodded and then went to the mission area.
