Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 958 Cultivation Begins as a Mortal

Yuntian Prefecture, Taixuan Mountain.

In a fairly decent cultivation room, Ling Xiao sat cross-legged, slowly turning the pages of a book in his hand.

"So that's how it is. This world is like this."

He had been a member of the cultivation sect called Tai Xuan Mountain for some time now, and had managed to understand the rules of this world.

According to the creation myths he collected, they were also created by a single ancestral god.

However, the primordial god who created the world did not directly create heaven and earth, but died in the chaos.

Nine true gods and nine true demons appeared from among his corpse.

Perhaps it is for this reason that nine is the ultimate number, and the number of true gods and true demons is nine.

The cultivation realms in this world also progress from one stage to nine stages, with the ninth stage representing the realms of becoming a demon and becoming a god.

Gods and demons are in opposition to each other.

Each of the true gods created their own heavenly realm.

Correspondingly, the demons also created their own demon abyss.

As for the human world where Ling Xiao is now, it slowly evolved from chaos.

The size of this human realm is at most comparable to a celestial realm or a demonic abyss.

However, the beings within were extremely weak, and could not be compared with the naturally powerful true gods or true demons.

In this human realm, all races have risen together, and the human race is merely one of the dominant races, hardly a hegemon.

The cultivation methods in this world were created by imitating gods or demons.

Once these acquired cultivators reach a certain level, they will choose to either rely on the heavens or fall into the abyss of demons, thus transforming their identities.

"That's interesting."

Ling Xiao chuckled softly.

He transformed into a golden crow the moment he transmigrated, possessing extraordinary innate qualities. He had never experienced such weakness before.

"This Mount Taixuan is just a temporary place to stay; we will have to abandon it later."

Ling Xiao's heart stirred slightly, and he stood up.

"This world is divided into nine levels. To become a level nine cultivator, one is qualified to enter the Heavenly Realm or the Demon Abyss to undergo a transformation in status."

The cultivation technique he has now obtained is only at the third level.

However, Ling Xiao didn't care.

With his cultivation level, becoming familiar with this world and deducing higher realms would be a piece of cake.

However, he still needs a certain amount of capital.

With a single breath, Ling Xiao arrived outside the window.

The sun was rising outside the window, its bright and brilliant light illuminating the earth. Lingxiao calmly stared at the great sun, breathing in and out continuously.

He swallowed and exhaled the essence of the great sun.

To advance to the first level, one must undergo a hundred days of foundation building, and Ling Xiao has no time to waste.

In a short while, by absorbing the essence of the great sun, Ling Xiao closed his eyes, and the energy within his body circulated rapidly. In just over a thousand breaths, he broke through to the first level.

"call!"

Ling Xiao let out a soft breath and nodded in satisfaction.

He strode out of the training room, his mind still replaying the various techniques he had learned.

"In this world, the foundation of all cultivation is actually the imitation of the strong by the weak."

“The innate beings imitated the nine true gods and the nine true demons, while the human race and the demon race imitated those powerful innate beings.”

After reaching the third stage, one must choose a Dharma form to imitate.

Of course, Ling Xiao could also cultivate the primordial immortal path. However, cultivating the primordial immortal path without knowing the details would be tantamount to suicide. Who knows if he would be targeted by some divine will, the Heavenly Dao, or the will of some ancestral god?

A moment later, Ling Xiao quietly left Mount Tai Xuan.

However, this was a small sect, and the strongest among them was only a peak fifth-level expert. Ling Xiao was too lazy to waste time here.

"It's time to go out and see the world."

Ling Xiao turned and left, and after half an hour, he arrived at Tian Gu City outside Tai Xuan Mountain.

Tian Gu City was a large city, and its city lord was a ninth-level expert who chose to submit to the Heavenly Realm and was known as a God-King.

It is precisely because of this that a deity is stationed here, making this place a melting pot of all sorts of people, and also abundant in resources.

"Now, let's first earn some cultivation resources."

As Ling Xiao walked, he cultivated, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of this world and the essence of the sun. His cultivation level had already reached the second stage.

A moment later, Ling Xiao arrived at a corner and casually picked up a blank talisman paper that he had just taken from the Tai Xuan Sect.

"Now that we need to conceal our identities, we can't just create something out of nothing, which is a bit troublesome..."

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and grabbed at the blank talismans, which rose into the air and floated in front of him one by one.

The next moment, Ling Xiao flicked his finger, and one after another, golden sun seals appeared on the blank drawing.

The surrounding sunlight suddenly intensified, gradually merging into the blank talisman paper.

In no time at all, the thirty-six Sun Gold Talismans were completed.

Ling Xiao remained calm. The solar power he had drawn was what he had just used to draw the blank blueprints on the guest's desk.

Even though Lingxiao cultivates the Great Dao of Power, its true form is still a golden crow. Even if only a wisp of its will descends without much power, it is still able to manipulate the divine light of the sun.

A moment later, Ling Xiao arrived at the property of that divine lord in Tian Gu City, holding those dozens of Sun Gold Talismans.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist. May I ask what you wish to sell?"

As soon as I stepped inside, someone came to greet me.

"sell things."

Ling Xiao spoke calmly, and finally showed the thirty-six Sun Gold Talismans in his hand.

"hiss!"

The greeter was startled, but after a moment he realized that this was not a business he could decide. A moment later, a woman came forward.

The woman was dressed in a pink dress, her eyes were alluring, and her face seemed to ripple with autumn water, shimmering with countless charms.

"A fourth-tier talisman?"

The woman glanced at it, then nodded. "I can give you one hundred source stones for each one."

"no problem."

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, seemingly unconcerned, and then casually tossed out the thirty-six Sun Gold Talismans.

A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but she accepted the deal and completed it.

"Don't give it to me yet. I need to select some things for my cultivation. Give me the list first."

"it is good."

The woman was not surprised and handed a form to Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao examined them one by one, and after scanning them for a moment, he selected the most numerous cultivation resources and handed them over.

"Exchange these for me."

"it is good!"

The woman nodded and readily made the exchange. They were disciples of that divine lord, so there was no need for them to bother with items of the fourth level.

A moment later, Ling Xiao left with enough resources.
