If possible, cultivate a bit in the demon realm.

"Without the path to immortality, the demon realm has no ruler!" "As a half-demon, why would the Emperor go against the heavens?" Above the nine heavens, a colossal figure with a body connected to the earth, a tail circling the pale moon, a serpent's lower half, and a head resembling that of a human, slowly lowered its head. "Master of immortality, king of the demon realm, enforcer of order, terminator of cultivation!" "What title haven't I earned with my own hands?" "Half-demons! Who gave you the audacity to disrespect me like this?" "You won't even address me as the true dragon supreme!" ... In the primitive world, danger lurked everywhere, chaos and wickedness prevailed. Food, demonic arts, cultivation techniques, dwellings, neighbors—everything concealed the threat of death. Su Changsheng, after crossing over, found himself incarnated as a half-demon Qing Snake. How to survive became the biggest problem he faced.
