Chapter 256
He wasn't unaware of his own state.
It was mainly the game's character information that was more detailed and data-driven.
You wouldn't know until you looked, and once you did, it was shocking.
【Chen Huai'an (Main Body)】
【Age: 21 (Remaining Lifespan: 732 years)】
【Realm: Qi Refinement Ninth Level】
【Talent: Yin-Yang Sword Bone, Divine Thunder Spiritual Root, Sword Spirit Root, First-Grade Dantian - Dragon Platform, Dragon Soul (Incomplete)】
【Cultivation Techniques:
Tidal Technique (Upgradeable)
Heavenly Demon Technique - Volume One: Blood Cocoon (Peak)
Sword Canon First Style (Peak)
Sword Canon Second Style (Peak)
Sword Canon Third Style (Peak)
...
Twelfth Style (Initial Understanding)
Qinglian Secret Store - Dao Gives Birth to One Sword (Initial Understanding)】
【Combat Power Evaluation:
He could only see the first three styles of the sword technique.
The rest were minor achievements and initial understandings.
But Chen Huai'an was already quite satisfied.
After all, the game panel certified him as a top-tier player.
What puzzled him was that the first volume of the Heavenly Demon Technique was actually at perfection!
Without him even realizing it.
He had thought he would need to devour quite a few demons and evil spirits to fully cultivate the first volume, but now he could immediately start on the second volume - Hundred Bones Resound.
Had he just consumed some super demon with an excessive bloodline while cultivating?
He had no memory of it at all!
And what did this incomplete Dragon Soul mean?
Could it be that the dragon cancer cells that had been causing trouble in his body had completely devoured part of the Dragon Soul?
That would be a problem.
He quickly focused his awareness into his Dantian to check on the Dragon Soul.
Compared to before, when the Dragon Soul was barely alive and ethereal, it now had a majestic dragon form coiled within his Dantian.
But those dragon eyes were closed.
With those dragon eyes shut, no matter how majestic the dragon body was, it gave off a sense of lifelessness.
Chen Huai'an couldn't help but think of a saying - "To paint a dragon, one must dot its eyes."
Could it be that the incomplete part of the Dragon Soul was those dragon eyes?
If he could complete the Dragon Soul...
His Dantian would surely advance to the supreme grade.
Li Qingran had a supreme-grade Dantian.
He only had a first-grade Dantian.
That wouldn't do.
A good lock deserves a good key.
Otherwise, it wouldn't even turn in the lock.
Under an inexplicable attraction, Chen Huai'an reached out to touch the dragon's head.
A dragon's roar erupted deep within his soul.
Anger, sorrow, helplessness, hysteria.
Chen Huai'an couldn't understand the dragon's roar.
But that cry still coalesced into a clear message in his heart.
—Luo Mountain.

Chapter 274: The Fool is Actually Himself?
“Governor, I’ve brought back the specific information for this demon-hunting conference, and it’s at Luo Mountain!”
In the conference hall, Lin Lingling had a serious expression as she hung a map on a small whiteboard, her right hand holding a pointer.
She called herself the Governor's little assistant—she looked the part, but in reality, she was barely half the height of the whiteboard.
Even though only Chen Huai'an was participating in the demon-hunting conference, all the demon slayers without tasks showed up. One reason was to catch a glimpse of the C Province Demon Slayer Division's Governor, and the other was to learn and broaden their horizons.
The C Province Demon Slayer Division was no longer the lifeless organization it once was.
With Chen Huai'an fully revealing the Breathing Technique, more and more Resurrectors actively joined the Demon Slayer Division. Plus, he was the hero who had slain the Corpse King Di Jiang, attracting many Resurrectors who found the treatment quite favorable.
Not only was there the Breathing Technique, but there were also plenty of resources.
Compared to the holy water and talismans circulating in the market, the talismans and sword pills from the C Province Demon Slayer Division were far more effective.
You could simply complete tasks to accumulate merit points and exchange them, without needing to spend a fortune.
It was said that the older members even had precious resources like the Cleansing Marrow Pill, which other demon slayer divisions and families didn’t possess.
Some Resurrectors who initially thought of just temporarily finding a force to stay with suddenly didn’t want to leave.
With the old members not leaving and new ones continuously joining, the C Province Demon Slayer Division was growing stronger.
From having no one to take on tasks to everyone scrambling to take them, they began implementing an elite program.
They only accepted geniuses, not just any Resurrector.
Members who joined early also had to meet monthly targets; failing to meet them for three consecutive months would get them kicked out.
In the past, even if someone was kicked out, most demon slayers would shrug it off.
Now, everyone was serious about meeting their performance, and only exceeding expectations was acceptable; no one dared to slack off.
After all, the resources of the C Province Demon Slayer Division were too enticing, and they had a monopoly—who would dare to break the rules?
Thus, the conference hall was now filled with over a hundred people.
Chen Huai'an wore a serious expression, feeling the pressure from dozens of hungry eyes behind him.
Those were all female Resurrectors who had joined the Demon Slayer Division.
Some were college students, some were office workers, and others were internet celebrities or housewives.
He really couldn’t afford to offend them.
He felt more pressure facing them than he did against the Corpse King Di Jiang.
He still remembered when he had just stepped out of the elevator; this group of girls asking for his autograph nearly overwhelmed him with their enthusiasm.
Fortunately, Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan had quite a reputation.
With just one word, they managed to disperse the crowd.
The whiteboard displayed the map of Luo Mountain, but it wasn’t just Mount Tai; it encompassed all the surrounding mountainous areas, making it quite extensive.
Luo Mountain had become a paradise for demons and evil spirits.
Not just Luo Mountain, but most mountainous areas were the same.
It was no surprise that the demon-hunting conference was held here; Chen Huai'an thought that the guidance from the Dragon Soul also pointed to Luo Mountain.
What exactly was at Luo Mountain?
Was there a connection between the two?
“Governor, are you listening?!” Lin Lingling knocked on the whiteboard—she noticed Chen Huai'an was lost in thought.
“I’m listening, keep going,” Chen Huai'an blinked and snapped back to reality.
At this moment, Lin Lingling had already marked several mountain peaks in the Luo Mountain area.
“Governor, this is our C Province Demon Slayer Division’s mountain peak; you’ll set off from here.” Lin Lingling pointed to a small hill in the middle of the mountainous area: “We’ll leave a demon slayer here to assist you.”
“I’ll sign up!” a female college student suddenly raised her hand, her face full of eagerness.
The demon-hunting conference lasted three days, and this was a chance to be alone with the Governor for three days!
Moreover, being with such a powerful demon slayer like the Governor would surely bring more opportunities and connections.
“I-I’ll sign up too!” another internet celebrity raised her hand.
“I want to assist the Governor!”
“I’ll go too; I’m a healer, I can heal the Governor!”
“What’s wrong with being a healer? Am I a virgin or something?”
“So what? I have experience, and I can bring clothes…”
The conversation in the conference hall gradually spiraled out of control.
Zhao Ying and Xiang Xiaoyuan’s faces darkened.
“Shut up!” Lin Lingling shouted.
With her small frame, her voice was like that of a tyrannosaurus.
The conference hall fell silent.
“The demon slayer who will assist the Governor has already been chosen.”
Facing the eager gazes of everyone, Lin Lingling pointed to herself: “That’s right, it’s me.”
The female demon slayers: “…”
“The Governor is an important resource for our C Province Demon Slayer Division. To avoid any contamination, the most suitable person to assist the Governor is naturally a little girl like me.” Lin Lingling surveyed everyone with a blank expression: “Who agrees, who disagrees?”
Before anyone could speak, she slammed the table.
“Anyone who disagrees will be dealt with!”
“Ahem, Lingling, get to the point,” Zhao Ying wearily rubbed her temples.
“Oh!” Lin Lingling nodded and continued: “The leader of this demon-hunting conference is the Qingfeng Sect, a subordinate force of Kunlun Xian Palace.
According to their investigation, there is a very powerful demon clan within Luo Mountain, and its strength may have already reached the king level!
In addition, there are a large number of soldier-level, general-level, and commander-level demons and evil spirits.
Killing a master-level demon earns 1 point, soldier-level 10 points, general-level 100 points, and so on.
Three days later, the big shots from Qingfeng Sect will arrive at the top of Luo Mountain, and rewards will be distributed based on the points ranking.”
