This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

The strange phenomenon of the emergence of the Demon Tower continues to spread. With each inch the tower sinks down from the black crack that stretches across the sky, the demonic energy in the world intensifies.

The clouds at the edge of the crack were stained black, and wisps of demonic energy, like living things, entwined around the ancient runes on the tower, emitting a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

at the same time.

Jiang Liu, who was on his way to the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons, received another system notification.

[The Central Plains Major Event—The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons Event is now open]

Anyone who kills the King of Ten Thousand Demons will receive a position as a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

Upon seeing the system notification, Jiang Liu's flight speed paused slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons—is this the major event in Zhongzhou?

Defeating the King of Ten Thousand Demons in the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons will grant you a position as a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance; similarly, defeating Ye Longying will also grant you a position as a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

Doesn't that mean that Night Sakura is equivalent to the King of All Demons?

Ye Longying's cultivation level is the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the King of Ten Thousand Demons' cultivation level is also the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, right?

That's just killing indiscriminately, isn't it?

Hmm, maybe I'm overthinking it.

Jiang Liu continued flying towards the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, and while traveling, he clicked on the introduction of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower that popped up in the upper right corner.

The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons

[Background: Ten thousand years ago, the powerful human cultivator Zhen Yaozi used his own Dao bones as a foundation, collected top-grade Dao-rank materials such as Nine Heavens Profound Iron and Nine Nether Cold Stone, and fused them with the blood of ten thousand demons to forge the tower. It consists of nine levels, each corresponding to a brutal demon race and suppressing an ancient demon emperor of that race. In the cage at the bottom level is the king of ten thousand demons—Yao Lin.]

[Rewards for the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons: Defeating demonic beasts within the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons will yield a large number of celebration fragments, Dao-rank demon cores, Dao-rank demon hides, Dao-rank demon blood, Dao-rank demon bones, and limited-edition demonic beast items such as 100,000-year-old beast bones/100,000-year-old beast soul sets.]

[The Tower of Ten Thousand Demons will be open from the end of the celebration event until the King of Ten Thousand Demons dies]

Jiang Liu: “!!!!”

Jiang Liu didn't care about the background information; he was only interested in the rewards from the Ten Thousand Demon Tower!

There are almost no ways to obtain materials such as Dao-rank demon cores, demon hides, demon blood, and demon bones, but the Ten Thousand Demon Tower is currently the only one. Although these materials are not needed now, it doesn't mean they won't be needed in the future. It is still crucial to collect some in advance.

What surprised Jiang Liu the most was not the Dao-rank demon beast materials, but the last 100,000-year-old beast bones and 100,000-year-old beast souls!

Beast bones! Beast souls!
If it weren't for the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, he would have almost forgotten that such a thing existed in the era of cultivation!

More than half a year ago, when the Immortal Cultivation Era had just been launched, there was a Grand Roulette event, and the ultimate reward of the Grand Roulette event was the Thousand-Year Beast Bone and the Thousand-Year Beast Soul!

How many spirit stones did it cost back then?

Oh, it seems to be only a few hundred thousand spirit stones, which doesn't look expensive.

Back then, you could buy two thousand-year-old beast bones and a thousand-year-old beast soul for over ten thousand spirit stones. Now, you can get a hundred thousand-year-old beast bone and a hundred thousand-year-old beast soul for free by killing monsters!

In just over half a year, a millennium-level item has become a hundred-thousand-year-level item. The game's attributes are inflating way too fast!

Back then, a set of thousand-year-old beast bones and a thousand-year-old beast soul provided a significant boost; it's just unknown how much of a boost a set of ten-thousand-year-old beast bones and a ten-thousand-year-old beast soul would bring.

Jiang Liu began to have high expectations for the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons.

He wasn't far from the place where the Ten Thousand Demon Tower was born; after flying for about ten minutes, a colossal tower reaching to the heavens and the earth came into view.

The tower is entirely black, interspersed with dark red marks that resemble fresh blood, and its surface is shimmering with light and engraved with countless runes.

The runes on the outer layer of the tower are not decorations, but the core of the demon-sealing array. Each rune is engraved with the remnant soul of an ancient demon emperor. Once the rune dims, the corresponding demon emperor will awaken.

At this moment, the "Crimson Flame Talisman" on the first floor has begun to peel off, and the sound of churning magma can be faintly heard coming from inside the tower, which is a sign that the Crimson Flame Demon Wolf King is about to break free of its seal!
With the order from the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, news of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower quickly spread throughout the entire Central Continent.

Originally, the various sects in Zhongzhou did not care about the emergence of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower, after all, if the sky were to fall, there would always be someone taller to hold it up.

Moreover, the title of King of Ten Thousand Demons sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just so-so.

Ten thousand years ago, after the great war between good and evil, when the righteous path was in decline, the King of Ten Thousand Demons was sealed away. How much more so now that the righteous path is flourishing?

It's just a mere demon. Haven't you noticed that there are no demons left in Zhongzhou these days?

Ten thousand years ago they were demons, now they're food!

The various sects in Zhongzhou originally had no intention of paying attention to the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons, but upon hearing the Taiyi Immortal Alliance declare that whoever could kill the King of Ten Thousand Demons would become the new director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

Upon hearing this news, the sects in Zhongzhou that did not hold positions as council members of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance were instantly shaken!
For a long time, the council positions of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance were held by the top sects, never flowing out for thousands of years and passed down through generations.

But things are different now. Ming Qingjing is dead, Mingxin Sect has been destroyed, and the position of director of Mingxin Sect is now vacant!

This vacant spot is the opportunity for someone from another sect in Zhongzhou to take up a position as a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!
Not to be missed!
Who knows how long it will be before the next Taiyi Immortal Alliance council member is killed!

The Taiyi Immortal Alliance had barely issued its order when the geniuses from various sects in the Central Plains arrived even faster than the order itself!
The sect leaders themselves did not take action; instead, the sect's most outstanding talents led the teams!

Whichever prodigy can kill the King of Ten Thousand Demons will become the new leader of the Central Plains!
The first to arrive was the Azure Sword Sect, which was directly under the Taiyi Immortal Alliance!
Leading the group was Chu Qingge, the sect leader's personal disciple, a prodigy of the Azure Sword Sect, who was a realm higher than Mingjingtai of the Mingxin Sect, and was in the early stage of the Integration Realm.

This person was dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, holding a green-edged longsword, and surrounded by spiritual energy, clearly indicating that he followed the orthodox path of immortal cultivation.

Behind him were seven junior brothers, all of whom were at least at the late Nascent Soul stage. Each of them had an arrogant expression and looked at the surrounding cultivators with a hint of contempt.

After all, they are direct descendants of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, and they inherently possess an arrogance that makes them feel superior.

Their Azure Sword Sect is no weaker than the Bright Heart Sect, and their sect leader is also a Transcending Tribulation expert. The only difference between them and the Bright Heart Sect is that they lack a council member position in the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

Following closely behind were the disciples of Flower Remnant Valley, led by a woman named Su Lianjin, who was also at the early stage of the Integration Realm. She wore a pink dress with hundreds of flowers embroidered on the hem, making her extremely beautiful, elegant, and fragrant.

The female disciples behind her were all beautiful, holding flower basket-shaped magical artifacts. They appeared weak, but in reality, they were all at least at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. They were skilled in using poison and charm, and were known as a group of fierce tigresses among the younger generation in Zhongzhou.

Next up is Qin Lie, the pride of the Blood Dragon Sect, in the early stage of the Fusion Realm.

This man had a face full of scars, was shirtless, and had blood-red knife patterns etched on his bronze skin. He carried a giant blood-red knife on his back, the blade still stained with undried blood.

He was accompanied by five equally fierce-looking junior brothers, whose footsteps shook the ground, and whose gazes exuded a menacing aura.

Sky Sect, Chaos White Sect, Myriad Paths Pavilion, Seven Nights Sect.
A whole bunch of random sects arrived, and the leaders of each sect were at least at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, with a few even at the early stage of the Body Integration stage.

At this level, even the Three Illusory Gods of the Celestial Empire are no match for them.

These people are the top combat power of the younger generation in Zhongzhou, and are known as the pride of Zhongzhou.

They each occupied a mountain peak near the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons, recovering their spiritual energy while observing the tower's movements, clearly waiting for the best time to enter.

"Senior Brother Chu, do you really think there are ancient demon cores in this Ten Thousand Demon Tower?"

A junior disciple of the Azure Sword Sect couldn't help but ask. Chu Qingge stroked the sword tassel and said calmly, "The Demon Suppressor left behind the Myriad Demon Treasures in the tower. It is said that it contains a Dao Pill that can directly break through a minor realm. It is most likely hidden on the body of the King of Myriad Demons."

Su Lianjin smelled the demonic aura in the air and a cold smile appeared on her lips: "Senior Brother Chu is still so cautious. However, I heard that some blind rogue cultivators want to get a share of the pie this time. What do you think?"

Qin Lie clapped his hands on the blood-red blade and laughed loudly: "What do you mean by rogue cultivator? In front of us geniuses, what trouble can you cause? You dare to steal my demon beast? I'll just chop you down with one strike!"

As they were talking, they suddenly sensed a sharp aura coming from afar.

Looking up, they saw a giant dragon boat, ten thousand meters long, slowly sailing from the horizon. When the giant dragon boat stopped ten miles away, a sword light slashed across the sky, so fast that it was only a blur, and in an instant it landed directly below the Ten Thousand Demon Tower.

Riding alone on a ten-thousand-meter-long immortal ship, a streak of sword light flew towards him!
Holy crap, who is this guy? He's such a show-off.
Chu Qingge and the other prodigies were startled and looked over with curious eyes.

As the sword light faded, Jiang Liu's figure became visible!

"Tsk tsk, this tower's model is ugly, no wonder it can suppress monsters."

Jiang Liu clicked his tongue, casually put away the Hunling Tianyuan Sword, and looked up and down at the Ten Thousand Demon Tower that was right in front of him.

His appearance instantly attracted the attention of the geniuses of Zhongzhou.

But after just one glance, they stopped paying attention, and many NPCs even showed undisguised contempt in their eyes.

Good heavens, a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator dares to make such a grand entrance?
You probably don't know the meaning of the word "low-key".

"Heh, mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, overestimating yourself."

Chu Qingge chuckled softly and turned her gaze away from Jiang Liu.

He was at the early stage of the Integration Realm, why would he care about a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm ant?
Even though the aura emanating from this ant made him somewhat wary.

Su Lianjin sensed the imposing aura emanating from Jiang Liu. A hint of apprehension flashed in her eyes, while a look of confusion appeared on her face.

What makes a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator possess an aura that would make her wary?

Could it be that.
Su Lianjin looked at the long sword in Jiang Liu's hand, slightly surprised.

That's a top-grade Dao sword?!
Immortal artifacts are the most advanced equipment in the cultivation world; even powerful cultivators who have transcended tribulations rarely possess one.

With immortal artifacts not appearing, high-grade Dao artifacts are the most prestigious!
How could someone at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm wield a high-grade Dao sword?
He has already found a way to die!
Su Lianjin felt a surge of murderous intent.

Jiang Liu naturally noticed the gazes of the others, but he didn't take them to heart at all.

The player and the NPC have different goals. The NPC is there to kill the King of Ten Thousand Demons, while the player is there to farm monsters, collect celebration fragments, Dao-rank demon materials, and 100,000-year-old beast bones and souls. The only point of contention between them is the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

As for these so-called geniuses of Zhongzhou, in his eyes they were nothing more than a bunch of experience points.

Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage? Early stage of the Body Integration stage?

He's already killed his way through tribulations, what's missing is the fusion stage?
Just as Jiang Liu from the player's side arrived, before Taiyao's Taiye City had even arrived, the system announcement for the opening of the Ten Thousand Demon Tower had already sounded.

[System Announcement: The first level of the Demon Tower, the 'Crimson Flame Level', is now open. Do you wish to enter?]

[System Announcement: Defeating the Crimson Flame Wolf Queen, the final boss of the first level of the Demon Tower, the Crimson Flame Layer, will unlock the second level of the Demon Tower.]

Jiang Liu chose yes without hesitation.

In an instant, his body was pulled by a suction force and disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was already standing on the first floor of the Tower of Ten Thousand Demons.

The first floor is extremely large, like a huge cavern, with lava covering the ground and a pungent sulfur smell permeating the air.

In the distance, a group of demonic beasts engulfed in flames were resting in the lava. These beasts were called Crimson Flame Wolves, the offspring of the Crimson Flame Wolf King who had been sealed in the Ten Thousand Demon Tower for tens of thousands of years and had nothing better to do.

Crimson Wolf

[Race: Demon Race]

[Rank: Elite]

[Realm Level: Early Stage of Nascent Soul]

"Good heavens, the first level is already filled with elite monsters at the early Nascent Soul stage?"

Jiang Liu's face lit up with excitement, and he immediately pulled out the Hunling Tianyuan Sword.

His sword was never sheathed!

Jiang Liu took a step forward and rushed towards the nearest Crimson Flame Wolf like a ghost.

Sensing danger, the Crimson Flame Wolf suddenly opened its eyes, spewed a stream of flames from its mouth, and shot it toward Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu dodged to the side, and with a swing of his longsword, a sharp sword aura slashed out, heading straight for the Crimson Flame Wolf!
"Five Elements Revolving Sword!"

It's just a mere elite monster in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm; it's not worthy of him using the Three Elements Flying Immortal Sword. The Five Elements Revolving Sword would be enough to kill it instantly.

You killed the Crimson Wolf.

The Crimson Flame Wolf's demonic body suddenly shattered, its corpse falling into the lava and disappearing in a flash of white light, leaving only a pile of debris on the ground.

[You killed the Crimson Flame Wolf, gaining 0.03% cultivation points. A cultivation point critical hit was triggered, gaining 0.1% cultivation points.]

Holy crap, an elite monster in the early stage of Nascent Soul can give 0.1% of cultivation points, does that mean killing a thousand of them will level you up?
That's an incredibly high level of experience!

Jiang Liu became even more excited and walked over to pick up the fallen items.

You have obtained 1 Spirit Stone and 2477 Celebration Fragments.

Jiang Liu: “????”

Just one spirit stone?
What kind of trash is this?!
Where are my Dao-rank demon beast materials? Where are my 100,000-year-old beast bones and souls?

"That's really stingy. It seems that Dao-level demonic beast materials and 100,000-year-old beast bones and souls are not so easy to obtain."

Jiang Liu shook his head and turned his gaze to another Crimson Flame Wolf nearby.

This Crimson Flame Wolf is great in every way—high experience points and lots of celebration fragments—but it's just too rare; he can't even group up monsters.

Is the Crimson Flame Wolf King having kidney problems? It was imprisoned for tens of thousands of years before it produced so few wolf cubs.

Jiang Liu's movements were as fast as lightning, his sword light was extremely sharp, and with a wave of his hand, a crescent moon hundreds of meters high appeared in the world, slashing towards the Crimson Flame Wolf like a cutting machine.

Although the Crimson Flame Wolf was an elite monster in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, it was as fragile as paper in front of him, utterly vulnerable. (End of Chapter)
