In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 441 Reaching the Peak of the Golden Core Stage in Three Months! (2.4K views, please subscribe!)

As batches of Golden Core cultivators were vaccinated, those who had secretly taken over the identities of some of them were forced to expose themselves and be harvested by Su Yuan.

After all the Golden Core cultivators in the Heavenly Law World had been vaccinated, Su Yuan's cultivation level rose another level, reaching the fourth level of the Golden Core realm.

During this time, many shadows naturally sensed something in advance and went berserk before arriving at the Yuan Sect headquarters, trying to escape, but were killed on the spot by the Nascent Soul cultivators who were supervising them.

But these Golden Core cultivators are still just appetizers.

“The Yuan Sect has already established branches in every prefecture of the five continents, right?”

Su Yuan looked at Chief Minister Zhang, who was standing to the side.

Chief Minister Zhang hurriedly replied:
"Your Holiness, everything has been set up, costing fifty million spirit coins..."

Su Yuan: "Hmm?"

Chief Minister Zhang hurriedly explained:
"Of course, this expense will definitely be paid by the Ministry of Revenue, and the Yuan Sect will not have to pay a single spirit coin."

Su Yuan: "Hmm~"

He turned to look at Chen Nuoyi on the other side and said with a smile:
"Vice Master, remember to ask Captain Zhang to reimburse this expense."

"How could 50 billion possibly be reimbursed! Besides, you, a Pope, do you really need to be so stingy about money?"

Chen Nuoyi was speechless.

Su Yuan said solemnly:
"You can't say that. Even if I don't need this money, we still have so many mouths to feed."

"Noyi, you have to understand the difficulties I face as the boss."

Chen Nuoyi: "...Okay, I'll give it a try, but don't get your hopes up too high."

Su Yuan: "If Captain Zhang doesn't agree, let An Xuemei talk to him. After it's done, give her 100 million."

Damn it, you've really learned how to bully others with your power.

And how dare you even embezzle money from the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lord! You earn 49.9 billion yourself, but let An Xingran earn 100 million. That's even more shocking than the 94% tax collected in Longcheng County.

Seeing Chen Nuoyi's strange look, Su Yuan coughed lightly and said:

“After all, An Xuemei is just a high school student. She can’t handle that much money. One hundred million is already a lot.”

Haha, so now you're admitting she's a high school student?
I wonder who's been talking behind my back about Thousand-Faced Heavenly Lord pretending to be young... If it weren't for the fact that this guy is Su Yuan, I would have to go and complain to Thousand-Faced Heavenly Lord myself.

After mentally ranting for a bit, Chen Nuoyi went to contact Captain Zhang.

She wasn't worried that doing this would harm Captain Zhang, because the other party was just a ruthless report-writing machine.

No matter how outrageous Su Yuan's demands were, the people responsible for allocating funds for the Maigou Project were the ones who had the biggest headaches...

Speaking of which, isn't the person in charge of the Maigou Project his own teacher? Hopefully, his master won't rush over and beat Su Yuan up.

Zhang, the chief minister, pretended not to hear the conversation between Su Yuan and Chen Nuoyi.

As the ruler of the Celestial Law World, he possessed sufficient wisdom to discover the problems within the Yuan Cult's upper echelons long ago, and also guessed that these people likely did not belong to the Celestial Law World, but rather came from outside the world.

But what's the use of knowing that?
His only Nascent Soul cultivator, Lord Saint Law Heavenly Lord, had already sided with the Yuan Sect. What could he do?
He could only watch helplessly as his wife flirted with his boss, and he had to wait downstairs on some nights until his boss left before going home.

"Chief Minister Zhang, please have all Foundation Establishment cultivators from each prefecture gather at the Yuan Sect's branch according to this schedule."

Su Yuan took out a jade slip from his bosom and handed it to Chief Minister Zhang.

The latter opened it and saw that it contained the schedule of Pope Su's inspection tour of the world.

The jade slip clearly indicated which prefectures and cities to visit tomorrow and the day after.

He will spend a total of one month inspecting all the branches of the Yuan Sect. Upon arriving at each branch, he will purify all the Nascent Soul cultivators in that prefecture.

"Your Holiness, isn't your schedule a bit too full?"

The chief minister asked with a concerned expression.

"Should we add a few days of rest?"

Su Yuan shook his head:

“Every extra day of rest means more people will be infected, and besides the Heavenly Law World, those affiliated worlds also need to be cleared out one by one. I have very little time left.” “Your Holiness’s concern for the country and its people is truly admirable, but you must take care of your health.”

Chief Minister Zhang spoke sincerely before silently withdrawing.

The next day.

Accompanied by Vice-President Chen Nuoyi, Saintess Qi Hanya, and Mortis, Pope Su toured the various prefectures.

While Su Yuan was ruthlessly purifying all high-ranking members of the Heavenly Law World above the Golden Core stage, the Shadows of the Abyss were not idle either.

Hundreds of thousands of Abyss Shadows penetrated deep into the grassroots, taking root among the vast number of Foundation Establishment cultivators and even Qi Refining cultivators.

In each state capital, one can find thousands, even tens of thousands, of Abyss Shadows.

This also means that every time Su Yuan passes through a prefecture, thousands of families will lose loved ones and friends.

In response, Su Yuan could only quicken his pace, exceeding his daily goals, and inspecting as many prefectures as possible.

Each state capital has tens of millions of people. On that basis, a few thousand families are not many, but so many 'tragedies' happening in one day are enough to cause an uproar throughout the state capital.

However, the Yuan Sect was, after all, a newly emerging sect, and the orders of the Holy Law Heavenly Lord and the central government seemed too distant for the lower-level cultivation forces in various prefectures.

Therefore, when Pope Su passed through a prefecture, legends about him and the Yuan religion would circulate in that prefecture.

Of course, the story is definitely not a good one.

Legends such as Pope Su bullying men and women, Pope Su embezzling public funds, Pope Su being a womanizer, and Pope Su liking to kill people in his dreams, whether artistically embellished or purely fabricated, were spread to every household.

Even in Longcheng County, such legends circulate... After all, apart from the high-ranking celestial officials in the central government, the common people have no idea that Su Yuan is Su Youlin.

The legends in Longcheng County are even more outrageous than those in other places, claiming that Pope Su forcibly abducted a woman and took away the wife of County Magistrate Su.

Thus, the image of a thief named Su who had a penchant for married women was widely spread.

The Yuan Cult, officially recognized as the number one religion in the Heavenly Law World, is seen by ordinary people as an extremely evil demonic cult.

The entire Yuan Cult is truly rushing towards the image of the Holy See of Light depicted in certain novels.

In response, Su Yuan could only say that he was having a really tough time.

He was doing everything he could to do good deeds, but his reputation was ruined, which really frustrated him.

But whatever, he's used to being a demon.

So be it, a villain. Heroes are always used to being alone.

The inspection, which was expected to take a month, was completed in just twenty days.

By this point, Su Yuan had killed over 500,000 Abyss Shadows, and the Primordial Essence he had collected and refined ensured that he would have no worries until he reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.

Even if someone else had enough Primordial Essence, it would still take a lot of time to improve their cultivation level.

But Su Yuan didn't need to go through all that trouble. With the crown of corruption and having exploited all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage in the Heavenly Law World, he easily reached the peak of the Golden Core stage.

His external alchemy cultivation had also reached the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.

It has only been less than three months since the outer elixir was condensed.

If he didn't level up so quickly despite possessing a magical treasure, that would be strange; people would question whether he didn't know how to use the treasure or was forcibly suppressing his combat power.

All I can say is that the Heavenly Lord of Transformation's magical treasures are truly nourishing!

Of course, even if Su Yuan was given the power to reach the peak of the Golden Core stage in one go, he was still far from using up all the power within the Crown of Corruption.

He was not stingy and shared a portion of his power with the Yuan Sect's cadres.

Qi Hanyia, Mo Tisi, Leng Qianliu, Zhu Tianqing, Xuan Haoran, and other Yuan Sect cadres who had just broken through to the Golden Core stage all enjoyed the benefits.

Having never lacked the essence of the Great Dao suitable for themselves, their cultivation progressed at breakneck speed.

Of course, the one who improved the most was Chen Nuoyi, whose inner core cultivation reached the fifth level of the Golden Core stage and her outer core cultivation reached the sixth level of the Golden Core stage.

Qi Hanya exclaimed that it was biased!
