Kumo barely did anything for the next weeks. At night he would cultivate the sleeping under the moonlight technique. And at day he would sleep or eat when a meal walked passed the cave.
He especially loved it when poisonous animals or demons walked passed the cave. They were completely helpless against him thanks to his poison immunity. And they would also give him a huge boost in strength.
By now the current him couldn’t be compared anymore to the passed him. He was way stronger, but he still didn’t leave the cave. Why leave if he can just sit here, cultivate and eat food daily.
By now he also had a better picture of the world. Because he was a spider demon he slowly received the memories in his bloodline over time. He realized that this was a world of cultivators, countless powerful beings existed in this world.
And he wasn’t in a low level cultivation world but he seemed to have reincarnated into a powerful world. This world had immortals!!!
While humans seemed to have something called cultivation realms. Cultivating for demon beasts was much easier, they would cultivate, eat, sleep and when they gathered enough strength then they would evolve.
But Evolution wasn’t straightforward like cultivation realms. There were rare cases of evolutions skipping entire realms strength wise. Therefore kumo knew the most important thing now was to evolve as quickly as possible. Luckily the demon spider he reincarnated as wasn’t on the bottom of the food chain.
So after evolving he should have some ability to defend himself. And with this thought he cultivated further and slowly months passed and eventually an entire year passed.
Cultivation was generally slower for demon beasts, but in return they had a longer life span. But kumo already got close to evolving after only a year. This had 2 reasons, his poison overlord physique and that he had a cultivation technique.
Most beasts would only cultivate passively, but he was different he had an actual technique. This was able to remove a lot of the disadvantages of being a beast. More days passed and after eating another snake demon he finally felt ready to evolve. He used some stones to seal his cave off and started the evolution process. Immediately the system prompted showed up and gave him multiple options.
[discovered that you are attempting evolution, please choose from the following options]

[ cave spider demon : a demon that mainly hides in caves. Has high abilities fir stealth and sneak attacks. Because your actions are similar to a cave spider this evolution became possible]
[demon spider lord : the stronger version of the demon spider. It’s what most demon spiders evolve into. It just simply boosts the strengths of the demon spider further]
[ venomous spider lord : this evolution became possible because of the poison overlord physique. It greatly strengthens the poison of the spider. It also gains the additional ability to heal if it devours poison.]
[spider lord of fear: this evolution is possible because of the body of fear physique. This spider has the ability to use mental attacks. Not just thar it radiates fear energy Making people without a strong will unable to attack it.]
[demon spider of terror : this evolution is a combination of poison overlord and body of fear. It allows for mental attacks and further strengthens the poison. It also allows for mental attacks that carry poison. Making people suffer even if they block the mental attacks. This spider is also capable of learning spells that are related to poison, fear, curses,. This spider is mostly talented in the use of curses and hates fighting people upfront, it prefers killing people while being far away using curses]
Kumo was dumbfounded, wasn’t the choice obvious? He definitely would choose the demon spider of terror. He already had planned to stay in this cave as long as possible. Now he could just sit in his cave and curse people. That was awesome!!!
With this in mind he immediately chose demon spider of terror and fell asleep. Time passed and his body started to change. After a month he woke up again and felt completely different. The biggest difference he felt was that he could now use spiritual sense.
He could feel all the beasts and demons in a 1 Kilometer radius. Once he understood his new abilities he could immediately attack all of them with his mental attacks without even leaving the cave. Of course he wouldn’t do that what was the point of killing something so far away unless it was an enemy.
But then he discovered something that scared him there were humans here or rather a human sect!!! It turned out this cave was on a mountain and this was probably the mountain of that sect.
How scarry!!! Luckily he didn’t leave his cave, he had read enough cultivation novels to know that the humans would treat demons only as material for alchemy or armor or simply use them to train disciples.
And he couldn’t even kill those disciples,because once he did the elders of that sect would make a move to clear out the evil demon. He had no idea how strong he was compared to sect elders or if this sect was able to call reinforcements from other sects.
So the judgement kumo made was to stay in his cave. He could try to escape but that seemed unnecessary, with his spiritual sense he had some understanding of the mountain.
And the demons seemed to get more dangerous the higher up you were on the mountain. And he was confident that at his hight normal disciples wouldn’t be able to handle it. So he would be fine as long he stayed quiet.
Still he was confused about something, he had cultivated the technique that wad related to moonlight. So why did no moonlight evolution appear? Sadly he had no answer for that currently and could only choose to ignore that issue.
Especially since a more important issue had appeared, he hadn’t eaten for a month, it was time to hunt!!!
