Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

In the dark and deep cave, the group of eight demon cultivators walked with great caution, fearing that they might encounter some danger.

Whether it was good luck or because of the passage of time, the traps that might have existed in the cave had become ineffective. In any case, they did not encounter any danger along the way and reached the end of the tunnel very smoothly.

"Is this the Changyou Ruins mentioned on the treasure map?"

As everyone looked at the bronze gate in front of them, which was carved with all sorts of ferocious ghosts, their eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation, but deep in their eyes, there were also other thoughts.

"If it really is the Changyou Ruins, then we'll be rich!"

You must know that Changyou was a Celestial Immortal Demon who dominated the Yuanling Realm 20,000 to 30,000 years ago. He was extremely powerful and proficient in the four major lineages of demonic cultivation: Fiery Ghost, Blood Sea, Yin Corpse, and White Bone. He was the number one person in the demonic path!
Back then, the Heavenly Dao dispatched eight Celestial Immortal cultivators to ambush him, intending to kill him and eliminate this scourge. However, what was thought to be a sure thing turned out to be a situation where Changyou broke through the encirclement and seriously injured three or four Celestial Immortals.

After this battle, Changyou's fame grew even greater. He gradually transformed from the number one demonic cultivator into the number one cultivator in the Yuanling Realm, suppressing all cultivators of the same era.

That era was also the strongest period for the demonic forces, which invaded a large amount of territory in the other three continents, and the entire Yuanling Realm was shrouded in demonic shadows.

But Changyou suddenly disappeared without a trace, vanishing without a trace!
Some speculate that he was burdened with too much karma and died under divine punishment; others speculate that he went a step further and transcended the primordial spirit realm; still others believe that he attained immortality and died somewhere...

Various speculations arose and spread like wildfire, but all beings from all factions except the demonic path breathed a sigh of relief.

Without such a top expert, the power of the demonic path naturally declined rapidly, and almost all the lands they had previously occupied were taken back.

anyway!

"Yes, if the treasure map is true, then our resources and opportunities to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm all lie here!"

Upon hearing this, all eight people present showed expressions of excitement and fervor.

In the demonic path, even though they are already Earth Immortals and are considered the founders of a sect, in the eyes of those Heavenly Immortals and Great Demons, they are still just consumables, only slightly more advanced, and not used easily.

Even the most advanced consumables are still consumables, aren't they? Life and death are not in our own hands!

But a closer look at their expressions reveals that beneath the excitement and fervor lies a deep-seated fear, vigilance, and a constant stream of conspiracies and schemes.

In the demonic path, there is absolutely no room for trust!

So don't be fooled by how united this group seems now. When a conflict of interest arises—no, there's no need for a conflict to even occur. As long as there's enough profit to be made, they won't hesitate to stab those around them in the back!

However, in the face of unknown dangers, they still maintain a facade of unity.

"Who among you is willing to open the door?"

Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent. Unsure of the potential danger, no one was willing to take the risk.

"Why don't you let my puppet go?" A frail-looking demonic cultivator, shrouded in a wide black robe, said in a cold voice.

"Since Fellow Daoist Pang is willing, then I will trouble you."

After thinking it over, no one objected. After all, no one could be sure whether the door contained danger, and the puppet was indeed a good alternative.

Without saying a word, Pang Wei took out a humanoid puppet from his bosom. Instead of injecting his own magic power, he used spirit stones to power it and used the puppet's silk to control it to open the door.

The other demonic cultivators were surprised to see this, thinking that this person was being far too cautious!

However, their attention was soon drawn to the puppet as it strode toward the bronze gate and pushed it with all its might.

creak-

With that dull thud of the door opening, the test or hurdle they had imagined simply didn't exist.

However, they did not rush forward. Instead, they signaled Pang Wei to continue controlling the puppet to scout ahead and ensure their safety.

They only dared to set foot in places where the puppets had walked.

It's no wonder they were so cautious; after all, the Great Demon Changyou's reputation was far too terrifying. A casual arrangement could be a catastrophe for them.

The group safely entered the cave hall, which was still dark but empty, with nothing inside.

"Could it be that there are no treasures at all? Then we've wasted so much time and made a pointless trip," one of the demonic cultivators couldn't help but complain.

Many demonic cultivators shared similar thoughts, and their mood became very bad.

“Look closely, there are several small doors on the wall. The real treasure is hidden inside!” If he hadn’t been worried about the dangers behind the doors, he wouldn’t have bothered to warn these idiots.

But this is perfect timing. Let these fools go and test the waters. If there's any real danger, we can use their lives as a shield.

But soon, the result disappointed him. There was no danger or trap behind the door. In the next instant, he realized that what they had come to find was a large number of various spiritual objects.

"Quick! Quickly put these away! We can't keep wasting these resources like this. These are all materials for our future cultivation, and we absolutely cannot allow any loss!" A demonic cultivator immediately said anxiously.

Just then, a dark figure flew out from the crowd and rushed into the small room before anyone else could.

Blinded by the abundance of spiritual objects, the demonic cultivator was solely focused on possessing them and preventing anyone else from using them.

The other demonic cultivators did not rush to make a move. Instead, they coldly watched their companion, who had been walking with them just moments before but was now suffering from demonic possession, without any intention of helping him.

When the demonic cultivator, having gone mad from his cultivation, swept away all the spiritual items and tried to leave, the remaining seven demonic cultivators, without hesitation or prior consultation, tacitly attacked him.

Two fists can't fight four hands, let alone several demonic cultivators of the same realm.

The person was completely unable to withstand such powerful energy and was torn to pieces by the immense energy without any ability to resist, with no chance of survival whatsoever.

"How should these spiritual items be distributed?" a demonic cultivator asked.

"How about we split it equally among the seven of us?"

The one who just died was naturally not included in their count. After all, he was already dead, so what was the point of leaving him behind? Demonic cultivators don't have any practices of entrusting their orphans to others, nor do they act like cultivators who would help take away the spirit objects of their deceased companions and hand them over to their parents and descendants.

Faced with the proposal to split the profits equally, the group, each with their own ulterior motives, did not object. After all, it was split equally now, but who knew what the final outcome would be?

"Even if the ruins of the Great Demon Changyou are just a separate residence, there should be a cultivation chamber inside. Everyone, search carefully, and perhaps some of his insights and experiences on cultivation are hidden inside."

After the spiritual items were distributed, one of the demonic cultivators voiced his thoughts, expressing his disbelief that this place contained only spiritual items.

While the spiritual objects were precious, they paled in comparison to Changyou's cultivation insights and experiences. The group suddenly realized—how had they been blinded and misled by the spiritual objects? If they left now, wouldn't they be penny-wise and pound-foolish?!
So, everyone carefully searched every corner of the cave with their bodies, and finally, in a secluded place, they found a secret cultivation chamber!
creak-

Amidst the tense and expectant gazes of the crowd, they peered through the open doorway to see what was inside.

When they discovered a bookshelf in the secret room, filled with numerous ancient books and jade slips, and considering the contents that might be recorded inside, everyone's breathing became rapid.

"How about we all take the initiative to copy the contents of the ancient texts and jade slips first, and then study them slowly when we get back?"

"I think it's good. This way it doesn't waste time, and everyone can make their own copy without worrying about problems."

Since entering the treasure land, this group of demonic cultivators has been very harmonious. They don't look like demonic cultivators at all, but rather like fellow disciples or clansmen who have come together for training, and they are the kind of people who have a very good relationship.

The group copied about twenty or thirty books and jade slips in just half an hour.

This concludes our treasure hunt adventure.

"Until we meet again, everyone. I hope we can cooperate again sometime." After saying this, one of the demonic cultivators transformed into a beam of yellow light, merged into the earth, and quickly disappeared.

The others were not skilled in earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique), so they could not leave directly like that person. After all, this place was deep in the earth, and the pressure was extremely high. If they were not proficient in earth-遁, they might be trapped in the earth.

Of course, with their cultivation level and strength, they could also carve out a path and return to the surface.

However, this would not only be embarrassing, but would also waste a lot of time.

So they all obediently chose to fly back to the ground through the tunnel first, and would deal with the rest later.

……

"Why hasn't there been a single sound from inside the cave after all this time?"

Jiang Fengwu, who was waiting at the cave entrance, had been waiting for a long time without seeing any demonic cultivators appear, and he couldn't help but become impatient.

"Could they all have died inside?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Fengwu frowned, but quickly dismissed the guess. After all, they were a group of Earth Immortals and Demonic Cultivators. If they really fought, it was impossible for them to make no sound.

But at that moment, a certain demonic cultivator made his move!
No, it should be that the seven demonic cultivators attacked almost simultaneously, each wanting to kill the other so they could be alone.

In an instant, the cave was filled with yin energy, followed by a sky full of red light, the roar of the refining corpses, and all sorts of supernatural powers and killing moves emanated from the hands of these silent beings.

"Ok!"

Having caused such a commotion, Jiang Fengwu, who was waiting at the exit, couldn't help but wonder if these demonic cultivators had either gained something or hadn't obtained any spiritual items, otherwise they wouldn't have started making such a fuss so quickly.

'I just don't know how many demonic cultivators will survive in the end.'

Rumbling--

Thunder rumbled from time to time inside the cave, signaling to Jiang Fengwu that the battle inside was not over yet!
Nearly two more hours passed before the sounds of fighting finally subsided.

Then two beams of light shot into the sky, attempting to leave this area.

But before he could fly very high, a beam of light enveloped him, and with a hum, the array that had been set up for so long could finally be activated.

The speed was so fast that they had no time to react or stop it. By the time they came to their senses, they found themselves trapped in the formation.

"What should I do now?"

The two surviving demonic cultivators looked extremely grim. They never expected that the scenario of "the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" would happen to them.

They originally thought that after this matter was over, they could quickly improve their cultivation level by relying on the massive resources in the ruins, as well as some cultivation insights and experiences.

But now, I'm afraid that opportunity is gone.

"There were eight of you when we came, but only the two of you are leaving?" Jiang Fengwu didn't rush to kill the two demonic cultivators, but instead began to ask them some questions.

"What happened inside? Was there anything unusual...?"

She asked a lot of questions in one go, not afraid that the two of them wouldn't answer, after all, her formation was not as simple as it looked.

At that time, a slight punishment will be enough to uncover some secret information.

Therefore, Jiang Fengwu learned a lot from these two demonic cultivators, such as the owner of the cave ruins—the Great Demon Changyou, and the life experiences of this Great Demon.

Despite their differing stances, she couldn't help but feel admiration after learning about it.

It's not that I admire Changyou, but rather I admire these people.

"Alright, I've asked all the questions I needed to ask. You two, it's time to get going." Jiang Fengwu's words were like a warning before death.

The two of them didn't lose their composure; after all, they were Earth Immortals and Demonic Cultivators who had seen many storms, but they felt somewhat uneasy and afraid.

"Hmm, you did well, but unfortunately, we still can't keep you."

Jiang Fengwu shook his head with some regret. If the two of them were cultivators, he could recruit them to enhance his own power.

Rumbling--

Hundreds and thousands of bolts of lightning struck down without warning within the formation, instantly forming a pool of lightning. The two demonic cultivators stood within it, facing the onslaught of the lightning.

Although the two knew they were doomed, they did not give up on their lives and continued to resist the formation's attacks.

At first, they could handle it easily, but as time went on, they quickly became no match for them.

Before long, two clumps of ashes appeared in the formation.

"No wonder I suddenly felt the importance of this place to my cultivation. It turns out that it was the cave of a great demon who suppressed an era."

Jiang Fengwu couldn't suppress his delight as he looked at the numerous books and jade slips inside his storage magic treasure. (End of Chapter)
