Although it felt like there was something fishy going on with Hundred Beasts Island, it was still true that the Dragonhead Shark clan was inside.
‘I came for the Dragonhead Shark clan, for their cultivation art. Nothing else matters.’
Bai Sha thought to herself.
After this thought flashed through her mind, Bai Sha flew straight toward Demon Gate.
In the crowd of demons, the Fire Spirit Monkey happened to see Bai Sha fly into Demon Gate. It scratched its head in surprise. It had thought she wouldn’t enter after seeing something was off.
Passing through Demon Gate led to a spacious building interior, decorated with exceptional elegance.
As soon as Bai Sha entered, a Demon Cultivator flew over. With a crisp and pleasant voice, it said, “Are you here to join Hundred Beasts Island? If so, please follow me.”
This was a Rainbow-Tailed Sparrow, looking exceptionally petite, only the size of a fist, its tail shimmering with rainbow colors.
After speaking to Bai Sha, the Rainbow-Tailed Sparrow fluttered its wings and flew deeper into the building. Bai Sha immediately followed, flying as well.
They traversed a hallway within the building and arrived outside a room.
Upon arriving, the Rainbow-Tailed Sparrow gestured for Bai Sha to wait a moment, then flew inside and spoke with the cultivator inside for a bit before quickly coming back out.
“You may go in. I’m just responsible for guiding you here.”
The Rainbow-Tailed Sparrow said in its chirpy voice, motioning for Bai Sha to enter the room.
Bai Sha went in directly.
The room appeared quite spacious… to be precise, everything here at Demon Gate felt very large, from the doors to the interior, likely considering that some Demon Cultivators might have larger bodies.
Within the spacious room, a woman in a black dress sat behind a desk. Her appearance was neither ugly nor beautiful, more on the pleasant, enduring side, giving off a competent, capable feeling.
Seeing Bai Sha arrive, the black-dressed woman immediately asked, “Have you come to join Hundred Beasts Island?”
Bai Sha nodded.
The woman smiled slightly: “Then I will ask you some routine questions. Please answer truthfully.”
“No problem,” Bai Sha nodded again.
“Name?”
“Bai Sha.”
“Race?”
“Great White Shark.”
“Gender?”
“Female.”
“Cultivation?”
“Foundation Establishment (Mid).”
“Preferences?”
“??”
Seeing Bai Sha pause, the black-dressed woman didn’t seem surprised and directly explained: “Don’t misunderstand. Your profile will determine who in Hundred Beasts Island becomes your Partner Demon Cultivator. So certain types of information are also very important. Knowing what type of person you like allows us to try our best to arrange a match suited to your preferences, which will help both of you increase your cultivation.”
Bai Sha thought it over, then said, “A human girl. Can be cool or cute. Light voice, soft body. Can do a cutesy anime voice.”
The black-dressed woman: “…”
She looked at Bai Sha somewhat blankly, completely unable to understand some of the things Bai Sha was saying.
Seeing this, Bai Sha said helplessly, “A good-looking human girl. A beautiful older sister is also fine.”
“…Alright, I understand.”
The black-dressed woman silently recorded Bai Sha’s information, then continued with the other questions.
As she continued, she arrived at a crucial question: “What quality was the Dao Foundation you used for Foundation Establishment?”
Bai Sha’s eyes flickered. She answered, “Supreme Dao Foundation.”
Once a Dao Foundation is used for Foundation Establishment, it becomes completely bound to the cultivator, becoming a part of their body. So Bai Sha wasn’t worried about what might happen if the fact that she used a Supreme Dao Foundation were exposed.
“Supreme Dao Foundation?”
Hearing Bai Sha’s words, the black-dressed woman almost thought she had misheard.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Bai Sha and said, “You shouldn’t say such things casually. Are you sure it’s a Supreme Dao Foundation?”
Bai Sha confirmed certainly, “Of course I am sure it’s a Supreme Dao Foundation.”
“Where did you get a Supreme Dao Foundation?”
“I found it in a random corner of the seabed.”
“Found it?”
The black-dressed woman was stunned for a moment, then said, “We can actually test the quality of your Dao Foundation. If you don’t mind, I will go fetch the relevant Magical Tool to check it right now.”
Bai Sha was completely unconcerned: “Go ahead.”
Seeing Bai Sha so utterly unworried, the black-dressed woman was secretly shocked.
Because if Bai Sha truly possessed a Supreme Dao Foundation, that would be a huge deal. Whoever could become the cultivation partner of a Bai Sha with a Supreme Dao Foundation would find cultivating the Hundred Beasts Heart Sutra much easier.
“Please wait a moment.”
The black-dressed woman hurriedly left the room.
Bai Sha floated in the room, waiting unconcernedly.
Revealing that she possessed a Supreme Dao Foundation wasn’t just because she wasn’t afraid of it being taken. More importantly, it was to increase her own importance!
Once she was considered significant, contacting the Dragonhead Sharks and obtaining the information she wanted would become much easier.
It wasn’t long before the black-dressed woman returned.
The Magical Tool she brought back looked like a lamp. She placed it on the desk in front of her.
Then she said to Bai Sha, “Can you blow a breath onto this lamp? The breath you exhale will ignite it.”
This lamp was called a Dao Foundation Lamp, specifically used to test the quality of a Dao Foundation.
A Demon Cultivator with a Low-Grade Dao Foundation blowing a breath would cause it to emit a white light.
Mid-Grade produced a yellow light.
High-Grade produced a cyan light.
Supreme produced a purple light.
Since its creation, the Dao Foundation Lamp had never once glowed purple. Even the times it glowed cyan were few and far between.
The black-dressed woman looked at the lamp, then at Bai Sha, feeling the probability of a purple glow this time was still infinitesimally close to zero.
A Supreme Dao Foundation was just too rare. She found it very hard to believe that a Demon Cultivator of humble origins like Bai Sha could possess one. She felt that if Bai Sha wasn’t lying, she was probably mistaking her own Dao Foundation for a Supreme one. Such a situation hadn’t been unheard of before.
She had personally witnessed several Demon Cultivators with Mid-Grade Dao Foundations claim theirs were High-Grade, and even seen a demon with a Low-Grade Dao Foundation think theirs was Mid-Grade.
In any case, a single breath would reveal the answer.
Bai Sha had no idea what the black-dressed woman was thinking. After examining the Dao Foundation Lamp for a moment, she leaned in close and gently blew out a breath.
In an instant, a light flashed upon the Dao Foundation Lamp.
That flash of light was purple!
“Supreme Dao Foundation!”
The black-dressed woman’s expression changed dramatically. She stared at Bai Sha in shock.
It really was a Supreme Dao Foundation?
What incredible luck had this Demon Cultivator stumbled upon to find a Supreme Dao Foundation in the deep sea?
In that brief moment, the black-dressed woman’s face changed several times, looking as if she had received a huge shock.
If I had a Supreme Dao Foundation, I could gain supreme talent, making cultivation effortless from then on. Wouldn’t soaring to success be easy?
Envy, jealousy, longing… all manner of emotions erupted in the black-dressed woman’s heart in an instant.
