Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Luo Yan's gaze paused slightly, lingering on the mirror of the Mirror Ancestor for a moment, before she said quietly, "Not long ago, I used the token on my body to investigate a series of events that have occurred in the sect over the past thousands of years."

"I saw a lot of interesting things."

In 2723, Chongming Island suffered a calamity. A powerful being waged war at sea, causing the island to sink.

In 2720, on Ancient Moon Island, a powerful demonic cultivator wreaked havoc on the surrounding seas, leaving no living being within a radius of several thousand miles unscathed.

In the year 2718, a mysterious great cultivator appeared at Taihao Palace to preach. Three days later, the entire palace was reduced to ruins.

Hearing these examples, Linglong Pagoda looked puzzled and asked, "What do these distant stories really represent?"

Luo Yan's smile faded, and his expression turned serious. It was a terrifying mystery, enough to make him tremble.

He said softly, "By learning from history, we can understand the rise and fall of dynasties and learn from our gains and losses."

"Many of the world's secrets are hidden in the past."

"The reason why the cultivators of my Five Elements Sect didn't feel much is because the Five Elements Sect is so big and has so many islands that few people noticed anything unusual."

"If I hadn't happened to see it, I would never have thought of this."

Seeing that his second spiritual body seemed to be deep in thought, Luo Yan understood that it had most likely guessed something. He didn't keep them in suspense any longer and continued:

"Such extraordinary events occurred countless times within a few hundred miles, each time resulting in countless deaths and injuries, with no living creature on the island surviving."

"There are just too many examples like this."

"Although they may seem insignificant, if we summarize them, we can discover a chilling and astonishing fact."

"Three thousand years ago, there were a series of unusual occurrences within the territory of my Five Elements Sect, such as demonic cultivators, the destruction of islands, invasions by strange beasts, and battles between powerful beings. However, the frequency of these occurrences was still very low."

“It takes decades, or even hundreds of years, for such an event to occur by chance.”

"But a strange thing happened: from three thousand years ago to the present, the probability of these abnormal events, such as the disappearance of islands and the slaughter of all living beings on the islands, has increased by dozens of times."

"Especially in the last hundred years or so, the frequency of unusual events has increased dramatically, to the point where one occurs every two or three years."

Upon hearing this, the two spirit ancestors remained calm, as they still did not understand its meaning.

But the second spirit's gaze froze there, only calming down after a long while. With a hint of horror, he whispered:
"Does the original meaning mean that those old guys were already targeting all living beings within their territory thousands of years ago?"

"Did a group of people choose to turn to the demonic path in order to avoid a great calamity?"

"For thousands of years, the root cause of those frequent strange events has been those old fogies?"

It was precisely because of this thought that the second spirit body was shaken.

The Great Tribulation of True Immortals is about to descend; this is an unavoidable fact, and even other inland sects have heard of it.

Many people know that the Five Elements Sect in Beihai was robbed.

The Tribulation of True Immortals harvests one's fortune, and for many cultivators, it is not fatal.

At worst, my cultivation level will stagnate.

But the chaos of the demonic path is different. Cultivators who turn to demonic cultivation will not only be affected in their minds, but in the eyes of those demons, any living body will become their food.

Eat their flesh, devour their soul!
For those demons, this was not cultivation, but a bodily instinct.

From the day they were born, they embarked on a unique and incredibly bloody path.

What do they take all living beings in the world, and human cultivators, for?

They feed on all living beings, on disciples of their sect, and on cultivators on various islands!
Everyone was treated as food, and every few years, they would be given a bite.
This Five Elements Sect, is it perhaps not a demonic sect?

The second spirit body was deeply troubled and felt a chill run down its spine, even towards its own sect.

Compared to these Venerable Realm demons, those island lords who cultivated demonic arts were like toddlers learning to walk, utterly insignificant.

If one day they wreak havoc in the Five Elements Sect's sea area, I'm afraid no one will be able to control them.

Since even Venerable Lilong of the Heavenly Mystery Hall was involved, how many of the other Supreme Elders could withstand the onslaught of such great power?

It's unavoidable that a small number of island lords practice demonic arts. As long as the Heavenly Mystery Hall exists, those guys are just rats in the gutter, unable to cause any trouble.

They could only live a life of hiding.

However, if even the Supreme Elders of the Five Elements Sect begin to demonize en masse, then the matter becomes much more serious.

The heavens of the Five Elements Sect are about to change, growing darker and darker, and more and more unsettling.

Apart from Five Finger Mountain, there is probably no place of peace in the entire territory of the Five Elements Sect!
What should the entity at the very center of this vortex do?
The schemes of the two palace masters, the darkness within the sect, and the invasion of foreign tribes.
Just thinking about these things is enough to make my head spin.

Suddenly, in order to verify his conjecture, the second spirit body nodded to the main body, picked up the gilded immortal jade token, and then sank it into his consciousness.

A moment later, the pupils of the second spiritual body trembled slightly, and the gilded immortal jade token slipped from its palm, almost falling to the ground.

Clearly, the more they verified it, the more alarmed they became.

He felt like his world was collapsing.

"This isn't a righteous sect, it's clearly a den of demons!" the second spirit body exclaimed in shock.

The sheer number of demonized elders reminded him of a type of poisonous insect—the Gu worm.

Legend has it that in the distant southern borderlands, the most skilled in this art are those who collect thousands of poisonous insects into a bowl, and the one that survives to the end is the true King of Gu.

Such an example might also be quite suitable for the Five Elements School today.

They devour their prey, fight each other, and finally a victor emerges.
This is also an incredibly cruel path of cultivation, filled with countless white bones and blood.
The second spirit's hands trembled slightly, and the teacup he held was unsteady, causing some tea to spill out.

Once his guess is verified, it will most likely become the truth!

In the future, the Five Elements Sect will likely become a desolate wasteland, devoid of any living beings!
After hearing what the original body said, the second spirit body immediately thought of a possibility: even if the powerful being who committed these bloody acts was a Supreme Elder, it was impossible for him to hide it from the deductions of the General Affairs Hall.

Under normal circumstances, someone who has harmed so many living beings would inevitably be besieged and killed by the Heavenly Mystery Hall.

However, after reviewing the past missions of the Heavenly Mystery Hall, the second spiritual body found no examples of any high-ranking figures, such as the Supreme Elder, being arrested or imprisoned for causing chaos among the people.
There are only two possibilities: either the battles between high-ranking figures like the Supreme Elders would not be recorded.

Secondly, the Heavenly Secrets Hall simply ignored it.

The token held by the main body is the identity token of the White-Browed Palace Master, the true Palace Master's token, meaning he has the right to view all events that occur within the sect. If there truly is such a rule within the Heavenly Mystery Palace, this matter will certainly not be hidden from him.

Therefore, only one possibility remains.

The speculation was confirmed: those old immortals who instigated massacres and treated sect cultivators as food were actually tacitly acknowledged by the Heavenly Mystery Hall.
"If those old guys had already switched to the demonic path three thousand years ago, would they still be human now?" the second spirit murmured.

He didn't mean to insult the senior elders; it was just the literal meaning.

He could guess the real reason those people did this: they didn't want to die.

But just because he wanted to prolong his life, he was willing to sacrifice the vast territory of the Five Elements Sect. How terrible is that?
You should know that the number of living beings in this land is not just tens of millions, but hundreds of millions!

Because the difference between the demonic path and the Qi cultivators is far more than just a difference in cultivation systems.

Those beings who have turned to the demonic path can be said to have become a completely new race, one that feeds on human cultivators.

Just imagine, within the vast Five Elements Sect, there are hundreds, even thousands, of powerful demons, each of whom feeds on the disciples of the Five Elements Sect.
How terrible is this?
Any cultivator who has not reached the Integration Realm will have no chance of survival if they are targeted by that group of terrifying beings.

Because each time those demons devour blood, they consume a vast sea area or an entire island.

The number of cultivators who grow up and live here is in the tens of millions!

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

"With so many demons and monsters existing, if they lose control of their desires, the Five Elements Sect may be tragically wiped out even before the great calamity of their destiny arrives."

The second spirit's eyelids twitched wildly, giving it a deeper understanding of this dark vortex.

The Five Elements Sect's fate is truly sealed.
The second spiritual body could guess the thoughts of those old fogies: they were planning to use the lives of the sect's disciples to exchange for their own rebirth.

Because the Great Calamity of Fortune harvests fortune, it mainly targets the Three Disasters and Nine Calamities.

The Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations are tribulations for Qi Refiners, all cultivators who absorb and exhale spiritual energy to transform it into a spiritual embryo, not for demonic cultivators.

They believed they couldn't escape the reaping of the true immortals of the upper realm, nor did they want to enter the cycle of reincarnation and gamble on an uncertain future.

Thus, he embarked on the path of a demonic cultivator.

The demonic path is distinctly different from normal cultivators; they cultivate filthy energy, bloody energy, malevolent energy, and other sinister forces.

If this path is successfully followed, the most common consequence is that the body becomes demonized, and one is no longer human.

The so-called demons are not the common spirits or monsters, but rather something born from extreme evil or negative forces.

For example, the Heavenly Demon is the master of the Six Desire Realms in Buddhism; the Blood Demon is an evil creature that sucks the blood of its own kind; and the Heart Demon is a demon that devours the minds of countless beings.

These are demons!
When a group of sect elders all turn into demons, will all worldly ties, human desires and emotions still exist?
"If even Senior Brother Lianlong cultivates this path, then who in the sect can stop them?"

"Could it be that the Five Elements Sect is really going to be destroyed this time, and its lineage cut off?" The second spiritual body was in a state of turmoil. Anyone who heard such news would be shocked.

Who would have thought that what was originally a righteous and powerful sect would eventually become a den of demons?
The most common outcome for demonic forces is that they devour each other.

The battle ended when only a few individuals remained, none of whom could defeat the others.

This is the devil!

However, the number of cultivators in the Five Elements Sect is simply too great. If the sect were to truly become a demonic abyss, the piles of bones alone would be enough to reach beyond the heavens.

The sheer number of deaths and injuries is enough to send chills down your spine.

Even the second spirit, who was used to death, felt suffocated at this moment, unable to breathe properly, and its face was stiff.

With so many demons and monsters staying in the sect, how many of the elders that the original body had met before were actually human?

"Does such a Five Elements Sect still have any reason to exist?"

"Is there any need to continue this battle?" The second spirit looked at the main body with a solemn expression.

The Tower Ancestor and Mirror Ancestor, who were standing to the side, finally understood the meaning of these words. Although they could not empathize, they could still sense the heavy atmosphere in the air.

Luo Yan did not reply, but instead let out a long sigh, his gaze fixed on the void, looking into the depths of the clouds.

It was black or gray, a harbinger of impending doom, shrouding every territory of the Five Elements Sect.

Faintly, Luo Yan could hear the wailing of wronged souls, the grief of living beings, and the cries of heaven and earth.

"The immortals and gods of the upper realm use all the heavens and myriad worlds as grasslands for unlimited grazing, and all living beings are cattle and sheep."

"The higher-ups of the Five Elements Sect treat their disciples like chicks, raising them in a pen to help them grow strong."

"When the time is right, we'll slaughter them and eat them."

"The sky over the cultivation world has become so dark that it's impossible to see anyone," Luo Yan whispered.

He was also very heavy-hearted and felt extremely depressed about it.

Even a vast territory like Fenghai would eventually become a bloodbath, a source of sustenance for those demons.

The so-called defense of the outer seas and the outbreak of a great war with the sea creatures will ultimately be a joke.

Luo Yan was confident that he could minimize the casualties among the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Hall.

But if what happened in the Wind Sea were to happen in the Crimson Sea, would Luo Yan still be able to withstand the invasion of those old monsters?

it's out of the question!

Thinking of this, Luo Yan's eyes became complicated, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

He felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation, and the threat of life and death surged into his mind once again.

Will the demons that devoured the entire Fenghai Cultivator Group stop their advance and not spread to other sea areas?
Besides those immortal old demons, how many lesser demons lurk in the darkness?

With so many covetous eyes watching him, can Luo Yan really survive to the end?

After all, even a great figure like Venerable Lilong couldn't withstand this pressure and chose to escape into the demonic path, so the situation faced by other powerful figures would probably be even more tragic.

The number of sect elders who chose to switch to the demonic path was astonishing. (End of Chapter)
