The Immortal Cultivation World of Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy-Chapter 74 - : 74. The eldest child who is mentally exhausted
Chapter 74: 74. The eldest child who is mentally exhausted
The Golden Core was situated right at Fang Zhou’s chest, almost connected to his heart.
Even within the ribcage, the Golden Core radiated seven-colored rosy clouds constantly. If anyone could open up Fang Zhou’s chest, they would surely witness the extraordinary sight of his chest emitting seven-colored rosy clouds.
Wrapped around the Golden Core was a layer of water-like transparent membrane, which was left by Ling Xiaoyue, specifically to seal the Yin Cold Spiritual Energy of the Golden Core.
However, she left a small opening in the membrane, which took Fang Zhou a while to detect.
Since the membrane consisted of Ling Xiaoyue’s Spiritual Energy, Fang Zhou, being of the same origin, could also control it.
He manipulated the membrane, enlarging the opening slightly, which caused the Yin Cold Spiritual Energy of the Golden Core to immediately gush out from the gap, turning into a frigid chill that rampaged within Fang Zhou’s body.
With his current physique, Fang Zhou had significantly increased his resistance against Yin Cold Spiritual Energy.
He didn’t feel frozen but just a slight cold, and quickly grabbed the gourd.
The gourd sensed the Yin Cold Spiritual Energy within Fang Zhou’s body and immediately sucked it in, using it as the energy to activate itself, and was ready to be used once more.
Yet, Fang Zhou did not rush to use it. As long as this method worked, his next consideration was how to deal with the seven Gourd Brothers.
…
Lanruo Temple Ruins
At this moment, the white mist within the old site of Lanruo Temple had completely dissipated, and with the loss of the Golden Core, the seven-colored rosy clouds previously radiated by the Tree Demon had also faded away, plunging the entire site of Lanruo Temple back into darkness.
The seven Gourd Brothers were currently waiting in the miasma of the backyard for the Tree Demon’s Transformation to complete.
The demons and ghosts trapped in Lanruo, sensing an impending threat of disintegration to this small Demon Domain, began to stir restlessly.
In the darkness, demonic roars and ghostly wails sounded from time to time, creating a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.
The usually mild-tempered eldest among the Gourd Sisters had no time to manage those demons and ghosts seeking to rebel, as her own sisters were each restless.
The youngest was clamoring to retrieve her gourd, the second youngest seemed oblivious and wanted to escape, the fourth and fifth squabbled, the third was in a state of self-confinement, and the second was clutching at her thighs, howling in penitence for her past mistakes.
The eldest felt like her head was about to explode and could only try to soothe them one by one, but to no avail, as the authoritarian presence she should have had as the eldest sister was not established, leading to her sisters’ disobedience.
Even the slightly authoritative third sister, who had returned, was immersed in self-confinement, paying no regard to the noises from outside.
This couldn’t go on, the eldest felt it was necessary to assert her authority as the eldest sister.
“Stop quarrelling!”
She shouted at her six sisters: “Everyone quiet down!”
Except for the self-confining third sister, all of her sisters turned to look at her and then… continued doing whatever they were doing!
Eldest sister: “…”
So infuriating, Nai Zi is about to explode, you bunch of naughty younger sisters.
The eldest felt she needed to pull out her trump card now, her voice gentle yet threatening: “If you all continue like this, then I’ll summon the eighth sister to make the decisions.”
The scene went silent.
The self-confining third sister suddenly lifted her head, advising, “Eldest sister, don’t be impulsive!”
“Yeah, yeah!”
“Big sis, don’t mess around.”
“Let the eighth sister keep sleeping!”
“Little Eight will only make things worse.”
The other Calabash Brothers hurriedly followed to persuade, even Little Seven, who was usually fearless, had a look on his face that said ‘dare to summon Little Eight, and I’ll show you death.’
Mentioning Little Eight, aside from the eldest brother, every one of the Calabash Brothers had an apprehensive look.
The Eldest Brother smiled and said, “Then will you listen?”
The Calabash Brothers nodded in unison, anything is fine as long as you don’t summon Little Eight.
At this time, Third Brother asked again, “Big Sister, when can Grandpa complete his Transformation?”
Looking back, the Eldest Brother glanced at the huge shadow of the Tree Demon’s body hidden in the darkness, with occasional sounds of trees rubbing against each other, a sign that the Tree Demon was in the process of Transforming.
The Eldest Brother nodded, “Don’t worry, it’s almost done. Once Grandpa completes his Transformation, we can take back the Golden Core and the calabashes.”
While she was comforting her sisters, deep in her heart the Eldest Brother was full of serious concerns.
Transformation literally means transforming into human shape, which is an extremely arduous step for demons; many fail at this stage and end up half-dead.
Most humanoid demons people typically see don’t actually Transform, they simply use magic to alter their appearance; they are still demons by nature.
True Transformation is completely reconstructing oneself to resemble a human, inside and out, that is what counts as Transformation.
The reason why demons transform into humans lies in a reluctant choice.
The innate abilities of demons set a limit on their cultivation level — once reached, further cultivation is impossible and their power will fade with age.
Humans are different; they are creative creatures capable of systematizing the methods of cultivation, creating a variety of magical Cultivation Methods that help them break through their innate limits and achieve greater heights.
Therefore, once a demon reaches the limit of their abilities, there are only two options: to create their own Cultivation Method or learn human cultivation techniques to break through their talent ceiling.
Demons cultivate based on instinct, instinctively absorbing Spiritual Energy and Sun and Moon Essence, with many unable to even speak human languages or read — how could they create Cultivation Methods?
Throughout history, demons that managed to create their own techniques were one in a million, prodigies among prodigies, extremely rare to the point of being negligible.
Thus, for most demons, the only path left is to learn human techniques, and to do that, they need a human body; they must Transform, or else even if they learned the techniques, they wouldn’t be able to practice them.
So for demons, the path of Transformation is a path taken with no other choice.

The Tree Demon originally had no plans to Transform, especially not now, as its innate potential goes far beyond a Golden Core.
But now with the Golden Core stolen, the Tree Demon had no choice but to Transform and take it back; otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to move half a step away from this place; this is also a natural weakness of plant demons.
And the Tree Demon’s decision to Transform at such a bad time would seriously damage its foundation. It had already taken a shortcut to form its Golden Core, which was unstable, and now it’s been damaged once again, which made its future journey even more challenging.
The Eldest Brother was well aware of this and felt heavy-hearted.
The Tree Demon, leading the seven sisters, shot into the night sky and disappeared.
