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

Chapter 442 Return to the Blue Star Federation!

[Mission Progress: Conquer the World (1/1)]

[Quest: The Lord of the Yuan Cult has arrived? (Completed)]

[Task Reward 1: Coordinates of a Branch of the Primordial Chaos Path (Claimable)]

【Task Reward 2: Magic Skill Level Upgrade (Selectable) *1 (Claimable)】

After traveling to various prefectures and spreading the light (and might) of the Yuan Cult to every inch of the Heavenly Law World, the system mission was completed.

Back at the Yuan Sect headquarters, looking at the two mission rewards laid out before him, Su Yuan thought for a moment and then claimed reward one.

The next second, a three-dimensional map appeared in Su Yuan's mind.

The map depicts a vast and boundless sea of ​​stars, and within this endless sea of ​​stars, one star shines with a unique brilliance.

With a thought, Su Yuan magnified the star in his mind, and a familiar landscape appeared before his eyes.

"Blue Star..."

Looking at the familiar outlines of land and ocean on the planet's surface, Su Yuan was momentarily stunned.

After going around in circles, it turns out that the coordinates of the Hunyuan Dao branch are in his hometown.

Moreover, the coordinates provided by the dog system are not limited to a certain planet, but are accurate down to the city level.

He was very familiar with this city; it was the Ten Immortals City, jointly built by the ten major immortal sects.

"There's a branch of the Primordial Chaos Dao within the Ten Immortal Cities? Are the Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords aware of this?"

"If I remember correctly, the Ten Immortals City is actually a man-made floating island. If a branch of the Primordial Dao really appears there, it can only mean that someone deliberately left this branch behind."

"Who did this? Could it be related to the move that Boundless Calamity Venerable mentioned earlier, the one that was placed on Blue Star?"

Su Yuan's mind raced, feeling that the origin of this branch of the Primordial Chaos Path was suspicious, as if it were a trap waiting for him to fall into.

This is different from what he initially expected.

When we faced the Boundless Calamity Venerable last time, that guy clearly stated that he was going to poison the next cultivation civilization.

Given the dog system's tendency to push him to confront Wuliang Laodeng in a head-on confrontation, he thought this branch of the Great Dao would appear in the world Wuliang Jiezun had gone to, forcing him to follow in Wuliang Jiezun's footsteps and develop under his nose.

The result was that they had to play on their home turf?
Whether this development is good or bad is hard to predict.

After all, playing on home ground has a huge advantage for our side, but if not handled properly, it could ignite a war on Earth.

But there was nothing he could do; it was beyond his control.

Moreover, if we leave this branch of the Primordial Chaos Path unattended, who knows when it might explode? It's better to prepare early and defuse this potential problem as soon as possible.

After pondering for a long time, Su Yuan temporarily put down the three-dimensional map in his mind.

There's no use thinking about these things now; let's finish dealing with the matters in the Heavenly Law World first.

Only after dealing with things here can he return to Earth as soon as possible.

Then, Su Yuan received reward two: a magic skill upgrade card.

To be honest, the skill he most wants to upgrade right now is undoubtedly 'Shadow of the Abyss'.

If he could advance this rule-level divine ability further, he would be able to surpass Wuliang Laodeng in this ability, and perhaps catch that guy off guard in the future.

Moreover, only a little over half of the one million Abyss Shadows have been dealt with so far, and it would be too troublesome to search for them one by one.

It would be great if the upgraded 'Shadow of the Abyss' ability had the power to control all the shadows in the world with a single click and form them into a Shadow Legion.

Unfortunately, ideals are often grand, but reality is often harsh.

There is a limit to the number of magic power upgrade cards you can use.

When I upgraded 'Corrupted God Kingdom', I used up three magic upgrade cards in a row. 'Shadow of the Abyss' and 'Demon Thunder' didn't even appear in the upgrade options.

With a heavy heart, Su Yuan compromised and upgraded the Demonic Finger Technique to level four.

[Demon Technique - Finger Technique (Level 4) Effect: Can forcibly distort the common sense of Nascent Soul stage cultivators; can only be used on one thousand targets at a time.] As expected, the Demon Technique - Finger Technique entered its true power spike after reaching level 4.

Distorting the common sense of Nascent Soul cultivators, hehe, wouldn't that mean I could turn around and do something underhanded to my own teacher?

Or, do something that Senior Wuluo would like to see... like asking her not to be so fierce to him, or to be kinder to him.

Cough cough, you mustn't think like that, that's too filial.

Such evil magic, which can be maintained for a long time, is better used against enemies; using it on one's own people would be too naive.

For the next month, Su Yuan did not stop his efforts to save the world. Under Gui Yuan's protection, he traveled to many of his subordinate worlds, including the Cold Plum World.

In these worlds, Su Yuan eliminated a total of over 400,000 Abyss Shadows.

Including the Shadows killed in the Celestial Law World, the total is 979,521.

There are still 20,479 shadows needed to completely eradicate the Heavenly Law World.

But here's the trouble: these 20,000+ shadows seem to have sensed the danger and have gone into hiding.

They might be hiding deep in the mountains, or at the bottom of the sea, or in some other very tricky nook or cranny.

Unless Su Yuan brings the entire world under his control and becomes the true Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Law World, he will never be able to completely eliminate these maggots hiding in the gutter.

For Su Yuan, the feeling of being unable to progress any further after reaching 97.5% map exploration was extremely frustrating.

This is driving people with OCD crazy!

Su Yuan strongly suspects that when Wuliang Laodeng released the Shadow of the Abyss, he may not have released a full million, perhaps only 990,000, or even more than a million.

In this way, the Celestial Law World will live in constant fear and will never find true peace.

At the Yuan Sect headquarters, watching Su Yuan pacing back and forth in the main hall, racking his brains for a solution, Gui Yuan said softly:
"Su Yuan, I think you're getting a bit stuck on this."

Su Yuan snapped out of her daze: "Senior Gui Yuan, what do you mean?"

Gui Yuan: "Your inner core cultivation and outer core cultivation have both reached the peak of the Golden Core stage. With your potential, you may be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage within a year."

"Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, you will possess the ability to rule a realm, allowing the Demonic Thunder to cover an entire world."

"By then, no matter where the shadows of the abyss are hiding, you will be able to easily find them."

Su Yuan nodded in realization and said sincerely:

“I’ve thought about this approach too, but my path is too unique. Besides my own accumulation, I also need luck to go from Golden Core to Nascent Soul.”

"If I'm lucky, I can successfully obtain a branch of the Primordial Dao and my path to Nascent Soul will be unobstructed. If I'm unlucky, I don't know how long I'll be stuck."

Gui Yuan smiled and said:
“I can sense that you have already seen the path you should take in the future, but you haven’t decided whether you want to face it now.”

"If you hesitate, you can rest for a while, but you will eventually have to face the difficulties ahead."

Gui Yuan's voice was as clear and melodious as ever, like that of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

But her words sounded like the teachings of an elder, plunging Su Yuan into silence and forcing him to confront his own inner thoughts.

He thought about it seriously and replied:
“Senior Guiyuan, your feeling is right. I knew a month ago where to go to find the branch of the Primordial Dao, but I was also aware that there were unknown dangers ahead.”

"For the past month, although I have been busy clearing out the shadows of the abyss, I have not been without the thought of escaping."

"I'm currently in a state of mind where I pretend to be busy and work hard to avoid facing the real difficulties."

Gui Yuan said gently, "This is human nature; everyone has experienced this kind of confusion."

Su Yuan: "But as you said, running away won't solve the problem. It seems I have to spare the remaining small fry of the Heavenly Law World for now so I can do what's really important."

"Before that, please, Senior Guiyuan, seal off this world and prevent the shadow from escaping."

"I will leave this world for a while and return to my hometown to seek opportunities for breakthroughs."
