Born with immortal seed

Chapter 771

"Is this a new technique created by the Crimson Demon Sect?"

Bai Zichen asked curiously, "This is undoubtedly a major breakthrough in demonic cultivation techniques, and it deserves to be written about in detail."

The reason why demonic cultivators are rejected by the general public is largely because they cannot do without blood and blood during their cultivation, whether it is refining blood and qi, or sacrificing demonic magical treasures and cultivating demonic supernatural powers.

Even if one's heart is inclined towards goodness and one maintains one's original intention, one will still gradually tread the old path of demonic cultivators in order to cultivate.

Ten years of honest cultivation is not as effective as the blood pills and meat extracted from a blood sacrifice of a thousand people.

Faced with the ultimate truth, the choice one will make is obvious.

In ancient times, major demonic sects would set up their own territories and raise mortals, even low-level cultivators, like livestock.

They were forced to reproduce frantically to expand their population.

Every so often, they would come to harvest right on time.

Even now, this phenomenon still exists in the Southern Region.

It's just that it's no longer so unrestrained, and it's become large-scale.

If the Crimson Demon Sect can truly solve this problem, it will greatly alleviate the situation where demonic cultivators are universally hated.

"This is a new path that I have taken by exploring new avenues based on the demonic arts of my predecessors."

Wei Xuan straightened his back, his huge belly swaying, his flesh and blood having long since recovered.

"The rampant massacres and blood sacrifices across the land, the search for young boys and girls at specific times, and even pregnant women and infants—how incredibly inefficient!"

"After I reach the Divine Transformation stage, I will be able to make my flesh and blood possess a spirit, and be reborn from a drop of blood. The spiritual power I contain will be thousands of times greater than that of a low-level cultivator. I will also extract various exotic bloodlines, so that I can satisfy the needs of different demonic arts with just a change in my physical body."

"I alone am more than capable of supporting ten thousand disciples of the Crimson Demon Sect, and even several times that number wouldn't be a problem!"

The blood-red rice and meat on the ground seemed to have grown hands and feet, and crawled back onto Wei Xuanzi's body.

Just looking at his physique, you can tell that cutting flesh and bleeding every day wouldn't be a big problem for him.

"Regardless of your own nature, your pioneering act is definitely among the top three contributions of the demonic path, and you deserve to be called a fellow Daoist by me."

Bai Zichen nodded slightly, revealing a hint of appreciation.

The previous questioning wasn't meant as a threat. If a satisfactory explanation wasn't given, he would truly draw his sword and leave that inhuman, abusive demonic cultivator completely on Rotten Axe Mountain.

The sheer size of the Datong Army, and its apparent intent to completely destroy the existing order, gave him very bad impressions.

Perhaps Wei Xuan's original intention was because the Crimson Demon Sect was confined to its cave and could not provide so much blood food, so he took this path out of desperation.

However, the Crimson Demon Sect's approach is not only more efficient and avoids being targeted by righteous sects, but it also greatly reduces the probability of its disciples becoming demonic.

Once a precedent is set, other demonic sects will definitely follow suit.

However, this method requires a Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator to implement, thus restricting almost all demonic sects.

It doesn't have much impact on the Nascent Soul demon cultivator himself; this bit of flesh and blood can be replenished with a single breath of demonic energy.

With constant supernatural powers, flesh and blood will roll off when the time comes, which will not affect normal cultivation at all.

Demonic cultivators are all selfish and self-serving. They would never try anything that doesn't benefit them. It's estimated that few people had ever thought of cutting flesh and bleeding from a Nascent Soul demonic cultivator to support an ordinary cultivator.

Such an idea, which reverses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, would be considered a pipe dream in any demonic sect.

The greatest difficulty in using this supernatural power is not the use of flesh and blood, but the transformation of mindset.

"To gain the Sword Master's approval is an honor for my humble abode."

Wei Xuan rubbed his stomach and burst into laughter.

These words sounded awkward, but considering that the person in front of him had just eliminated many ancient immortals who had descended to the mortal realm and the Asura Ancient Demon, which even the top Nascent Soul cultivators in the human realm could only suppress, it seemed somewhat reasonable.

It possesses combat power approaching that of a Void Refinement cultivator, placing it in a completely different league from ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators.

The Crimson Demon Sect pushed out the Great Harmony Army, stirring up chaos in the cultivation world, all in order to break the rules set by the Moral Sect and create space for themselves to return to the real world.

How could a demonic cultivator like Wei Xuan truly have the idea of ​​universal harmony? He simply picked out the most inflammatory passage from the classics of the ancients to use as a slogan.

Once the goal is achieved, those millions of cultivators will be nothing more than pawns to be discarded at will.

Dealing with the Moral Sect alone is already extremely difficult; how could we possibly drag the Sword Lord of Time into the battle as well?

The Crimson Demon Sect's attitude was clear; they were even willing to let Wei Xuan personally lead the attack directly to the heart of the enemy, abandoning the Nine Yuan Sect, an important ally.

Having discerned Bai Zichen's preferences, Wei Xuan explicitly stated in their subsequent conversation that he would reduce the size of the Datong Army upon returning.

And it guarantees that it will not expand its attack targets in the future.

If the Moral Sect tacitly allows its members to return to the cultivation world, it can even cut off aid to the Datong Army and withdraw all its core members.

This rendered the army that had stirred up the cultivation world and made many sects feel insecure a mere shell.

"How many Nascent Soul cultivators are there in the cultivation world today?"

The Qingfeng Sect's foundation is too shallow, so these secrets can only be explored by Bai Zichen himself; no one can tell him in advance.

There just happens to be a fellow cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, whose understanding of this matter is certainly superior to that of others.

"Information about the Nascent Soul stage is the highest level of top secret in every sect, and this is especially true as one approaches the end of the Nascent Soul stage. As long as it remains unknown to the outside world, one can maintain their wealth and status for another day... Like the previous great war between the two clans, if it weren't for the intervention of the Nebula Twin Saints, who would have thought that the two of them could join forces to unleash a Nascent Soul attack?"

Wei Xuan, wanting to build a closer relationship, naturally spoke freely about everything he knew.

Anyway, it's nothing to a Nascent Soul cultivator; they'll find out eventually.

However, the Sword Lord of Time rose too quickly and barely participated in any exchanges or exchanges among fellow cultivators before reaching the peak. He was unaware of who his peers were.

Normally, during the period when the Great True Monarch realm is being consolidated, one can learn about cultivators in the cultivation world who have the potential to become gods.

Once one advances to the Nascent Soul stage, one will know exactly which of one's peers have reached the Nascent Soul stage.

"The great war between the human and demon races took away too many Nascent Soul cultivators... Hongfa of the Moral Sect and Baolun of the Kasyapa Sect are two well-known figures. There is a Ghost Venerable in Fengdu of the Ten Earths who is a fifth-order Yin God, but he has many flaws and is even more vulnerable than a Nascent Soul when encountering a counter spell, so he never shows himself. In addition, no one can confirm whether the Eight Desolate Sword Lord of the Five Phoenix Sword Sect still exists."

Bai Zichen bowed his head and remained silent. He knew this from the Green Lamp Arhat through soul searching: the Eight Desolate Sword Lord was still alive.

Otherwise, the black market would have been in chaos long ago, and it would still be able to maintain its cohesion and appear to be a unified entity on the surface, sharing missions, intelligence transactions, and so on in various underground markets.

"Besides the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain, there should be another fifth-tier demon lord. Several hundred years ago, when my flesh and blood incarnation was first formed, I sensed a powerful demonic aura chasing after me while traveling through the Western Regions. In the end, I only saw a feathered tail that flashed and disappeared. Based on the residual aura, I guessed it was a fifth-tier ancient demon."

Wei Xuan's words reminded Bai Zichen of the fourth-tier Rainbow Phoenix he had fought before.

Their origins are mysterious, and they joined forces with several top-tier demons to deal with a remote sword cultivator.

The demons ambushed him, but he turned the tables and trapped them in the formation. If it weren't for his fifth-tier techniques saving them, they would have been wiped out in the Star River Sword Formation.

Later, they occupied Rotten Axe Mountain, but they couldn't find any trace of Cai Feng. She disappeared along with the white ape.

Considering its completely different fifth-tier trump card, it was speculated that day that in addition to the Red-Eared Ancestor and other demons, there was another fifth-tier demon lord behind it.

Today, when I compared what Wei Xuan said, it all matched up. Indeed, the Western Regions were hiding a fifth-tier demon lord.

"As for the overseas areas, they have already been pacified by the Sword Lord. Unless it is a more distant sea area, where different starlight may illuminate, there may be even more powerful sea monsters. Apart from the above, there should only be Fellow Daoist Bai and me listed among them."

Bai Zichen remained silent, his insight likely missing something.

Wei Xuan had lived in the grotto-heaven for a long time, and the disciples of the Crimson Demon Sect did not often move around in the cultivation world, so they had less information than he did.

There must be other beings like the fifth-tier Moth God who died at the hands of the ancient Asura demon in the Ten Thousand Evils Mountain, but their existence is too random and unknown to ordinary people.

There are also mysterious cultivators behind the Green Lamp Arhat who provide secret techniques for transferring one's destiny.

As for the other ancient demons and monsters, no one can confirm whether they have all died out.

But I imagine there will always be one or two unassuming, ancient ones who rely on their extraordinary treasures to eke out a living.

Or, like the ancient demon Asura, it directly became an incarnation of the demon god, sharing the demon god's lifespan.

"You heard that? From now on, the Datong Army will no longer provoke conflict. Do you still want to move your clan overseas?"

Bai Zichen stared at Wei Xuan's retreating figure for a long time without looking away.

This person is very ambitious, yet flexible and adaptable, completely different from traditional demonic cultivators. Do not be fooled by his appearance.

Once the Crimson Demon Sect returns to the Real World, under his leadership, it will exhibit an astonishing rate of development.

The cultivation speed of demonic techniques is fast, they do not require the insane slaughter of other cultivators, and there is little risk of falling into demonic possession. It seems to be the perfect cultivation path.

"The decision has been made and will not be changed... Overseas resources are scarce, and I would like to purchase a batch of supplies in the Eastern Region to take with me. Could you entrust the Qingfeng Sect with this? It would cost approximately 20 million Time Coins."

Kong Bai hesitated for a long time, but still decided to stick to his original decision.

The key point now is that the Beggar Sect does not need the assistance of the Datong Army; it can suppress the Killing Sword Sect on its own strength.

Even if they were forced to stay, life wouldn't be easy. It would be better to start over in the undeveloped open sea.

Aside from the difficulty in recruiting disciples, there is more room for development overseas.

"Just pass on a message to my disciple, and give him a list of the resources he needs."

Bai Zichen waved his hand somewhat listlessly, indicating that Kong Bai could leave.

The resources needed for land reclamation cannot be bought anywhere inland.

It was merely a way of currying favor with him through the use of time-honored coins.

If he lets it go, he'll probably investigate thoroughly, travel to Fengdu in the ten regions of the Western Regions, and find the whereabouts of that fifth-tier demon lord.

Now that curiosity has faded, all I want is to finish this quickly, return to my grotto, and improve my cultivation level as soon as possible.

……

"So you mean to hand over these elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people as an explanation to me?"

Bai Zichen asked the question with a blank expression, seemingly casually.

"Reporting to Sword Master, they are all... they are all remnants of the bandits from back then. The investigation has been completed..."

The black market Nascent Soul cultivator's face was practically pressed to the ground; he dared not raise his head.

Everyone knew this was a bad job, and they all declined, but he was the least experienced and had no choice but to accept it.

In Madam Mu's view, she had already made a huge concession by sending the bandits who were protected by the black market to her, which violated the black market's bottom line.

But for Bai Zichen, this was an extremely perfunctory performance.

Especially compared to the actions of the Crimson Demon Sect, who personally took action and decisively cut ties with the Nascent Soul stage.

Throughout the Nine Yuan Sect, there are more than ten cultivators and spirit beasts with Nascent Soul combat power.

The Crimson Demon Sect abandoned it without hesitation, giving it up completely.

The black market acted timidly and hesitantly in all aspects, giving the impression that it was trying to get away with something.

"Go back and tell the Eight Desolate Sword Lord that if you can't give me the explanation I want, I'll go and get it myself."

Bai Zichen dismissed the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Black Market without giving him a chance to speak.

In the end, Madam Mu was simply an executor pushed to the forefront, and Bai Zichen was at a disadvantage when he argued with her.

Only the Eight Desolate Sword Lord deserves his attention; let's see just how capable the number one swordsman of the previous generation truly is.

……

The remaining matter that Bai Zichen needs to decide is mainly the ownership of the spiritual veins left behind by the sects destroyed by the Asura Ancient Demon.

Without leaving the Great Zhou, no cultivator from the Moral Sect can claim power from the Sword Lord of Time in such matters.

In the Northern Region, the vast ice plains have already been taken over by the Qingfeng Sect, so Sword Mountain should naturally be returned to its rightful owner and inherited by the disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect.

Bai Zichen even provided the Tianhe Sword Sect with a ten-year reconstruction aid package totaling 30 million Time Coins, so that the Sword Sect, which had fallen to the bottom and almost lost its lineage, could rebound quickly.

His son, Qi Chuqin, was neither arrogant nor humble in the face of adversity. At least in terms of character, he already had the bearing of a sword immortal, which left a good impression on him.

The black market, having been driven away, reacted by escalating their demands, going from offering to hand over two Nascent Soul cultivators under certain conditions to offering nothing in return except for the Light and Time Sword Lord's request for mercy.

However, this time the treatment was not so good; the envoy had no chance to face the Sword Lord of Time directly again.

They could only meet with Li Guizhen to discuss the matter, but they did not receive a reliable response; his attitude was indifferent.

Finally, Madam Mu moved away from the black market and personally made a trip to Rotten Axe Mountain.

What she received was still a cold, indifferent sentence.

"Only by inviting the Eight Desolate Sword Lord can one be qualified to speak with the Time Sword Lord."

……

Li Xuanji took the recommendation letter from the Sword Lord of Time and headed straight for the Central Region with high expectations.

He still preferred talismans, and his switch to flying swords was purely because the elders of Wuguang City said that it would be easier to gain the favor of the Time Sword Lord, so he rushed to learn it.

Although he felt somewhat sorry for the elders in the city, going to the Taiping Sect to study and further his education was probably what he was most looking forward to.

"With the Sword Lord's recommendation, the Taiping Sect will certainly not be perfunctory... Although it is not as famous as the disciples of the Sword Lord of Time, it is at least a holy land of talismans in the world. If we study diligently, it may not be impossible to improve the situation of Wuguang City."

Li Xuanji grew up in the Western Regions, which were much poorer than the Northern Regions, mainly because more than 90% of the spiritual veins were cut off and abandoned.

I've seen so many people fight each other on the roadside over the slightest disagreement, and even risk their lives for a few spirit stones.

When I first arrived in the Central Region, I wasn't used to it at all. Everyone had become so civilized and courteous.

He was imagining what kind of new life he would have at the Taiping Sect, and which type of talisman cultivation path he should take to quickly transform his skills into combat power.

Two dark figures appeared on the ground, one on the left and one on the right, like ghosts, until they suddenly transformed into human form and approached with two short swords like venomous snakes.
