The city lord spoke at length with Su Han, primarily because the information he shared was public knowledge, something everyone was already aware of. Thus, disclosing it posed no issue.
Under this mindset of the city lord, Su Han managed to obtain various pieces of intelligence.
Beyond the adjacent large forest, Su Han also inquired about much information regarding this planet.
The planet's name was Chu Yun Planet. True to its name, the most powerful entity on Chu Yun Planet was Chu Yun himself, the ruler of the planet, whose strength reached the Golden Immortal level. Within several dozen surrounding star systems, Chu Yun's Golden Immortal prowess was unmatched. Consequently, other cultivation planets dared not provoke Chu Yun Planet. It was known that the strongest beings on other cultivation planets were generally at the Heavenly Immortal level.
Even if there were beings at the Golden Immortal level, they would not be rulers. This was because these Golden Immortal beings, in their pursuit of greater power, would travel to planets with richer spiritual energy for their cultivation, or to cosmic spaces with even more abundant spiritual energy. It was precisely this method of cultivation they employed that led them to eschew the title of ruler, to avoid being bound by it.
Su Han was astonished to learn that the ruler of Chu Yun Planet, Chu Yun, was at the Golden Immortal cultivation level. This was because most of Su Han's current strength stemmed from the cultivation techniques and artifacts he had acquired from Star Lord Zimo. Star Lord Zimo's strength was that of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. In terms of power division, it was Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Star Lord Zimo's strength was one level higher than this Chu Yun, yet Star Lord Zimo ruled a star system, Zimo, comprising ninety-three thousand eight hundred and ninety life-bearing planets with a population of one hundred trillion.
Within all the cities surrounding this large forest, the strongest cultivator was none other than the Earth Immortal who had been conversing with Su Han. Other cities primarily relied on the defensive formations of their city walls to ward off Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts that might emerge from the great forest.
Su Han's current strength was only at the Earth Immortal level. Above him were Heavenly Immortals, and then Golden Immortals. Su Han now felt that he was still far from the planet's ruler. Therefore, Su Han decided to proceed with caution and develop his strength discreetly. Only after his power increased would he seek out the planet's ruler, Chu Yun.
Thus, upon learning that Chu Yun resided on the mainland on the other side of the planet, Su Han decided against sending anyone to explore that region for the time being.
Subsequently, Su Han thoroughly explored the large forest. Within this great forest, there were a total of three Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts.
Su Han was greatly surprised, not expecting there to be so many Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts here. If the roc from before were included, the number of Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts would reach four.
As Su Han flew above their territories, these Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts did not emerge to attack him. Su Han was puzzled why these beasts, known for their untamed nature, did not attack him. After all, various legends and records stated that these demonic beasts would engage in combat at the slightest provocation.
With this question in mind, Su Han decided to visit one of these demonic beasts with his artifact.
This demonic beast was of the tiger lineage.
As Su Han approached, this tiger-like demonic beast flew out.
"Human Earth Immortal, what business do you have here?"
This tiger demon was in its beast form.
Su Han replied, "Tiger, unlike that roc, you are capable of communication."
Upon hearing this, the tiger demon said, "I am a member of the demon race. Do not mistake me for that bird influenced by the Raging Demonic Power Factor. That kind of bird has lost its sanity due to the Raging Demonic Power Factor. The roc that has lost its reason is already considered a beast, not a demon."
After speaking, the tiger demon continued, "May I know what brings you here?"
Su Han stated, "There's no need to be nervous. I have not come here to engage in combat with you. I merely wish to have a good conversation. Won't you invite me in for a seat?"
The tiger demon immediately transformed into human form, though its head retained its tiger shape.
"Please, come in!"
The tiger demon then led Su Han into a vast cave.
Within this cave, various demonic beasts were present.
At the place of honor within this massive cave, there was a tiger skin seat.
The tiger demon nonchalantly sat on the tiger skin seat of honor.
"Minions, fetch a good seat for my guest."
A lesser demon nearby immediately brought over a wooden chair.
Su Han did not stand on ceremony and sat on the chair, saying, "Aren't you a tiger demon? Why are you sitting on a tiger skin seat?"
The tiger demon replied, "These tiger skins belong to my rivals on the path of cultivation. I defeated them later and fashioned them into tiger skin chairs. Among our demon race, it is the victor who becomes king and the vanquished who becomes a loser. It is nothing unusual."
Su Han remarked, "That is true. But I have other questions. As demons, wouldn't it be better for you to go to demon planets? This planet is dominated by humans, after all."
The tiger demon explained, "It cannot be helped. I was born on this planet since childhood. This planet is, in a sense, my home. I naturally would not go to purely demon planets. Moreover, the planet's ruler, Golden Immortal Chu Yun, has not taken any action against us demons. Therefore, we demonic beasts can stay here with peace of mind. Additionally, this great forest is vast, and there is no shortage of cultivation resources."
A hundred million square kilometers of great forest was indeed vast, and the resources within were certainly abundant. Su Han agreed wholeheartedly after listening. This was because, from the intelligence provided by the city lord, humans and demons coexisted on many planets within this star system. On some planets, humans and demons were hostile, while on others, they lived in peace. All sorts of arrangements existed, so the current situation was not surprising.
While Su Han flew through the great forest, among the three Earth Immortal-level demonic beasts, this tiger demon's influence was the weakest. The other two demonic beasts had established large demon cities, where various demons roamed freely. Outside the great forest, there were also many demon cities. Su Han's arrival here was certainly not for a grand slaughter or demon extermination. His primary goal now was to establish a base for the Dragon Kingdom here.
At this moment, the tiger demon spoke, "Human Earth Immortal, where have you come from? And why have you brought so many humans with you?"
As a tiger demon at the Earth Immortal realm, it was not surprising that it could sense the Dragon Kingdom people around the teleportation portal.
