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

Chapter 462 What?! The Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation bestowed upon me the title of Holy Son?! (3K views, please subscribe!)

However, given that Su Yuan and Zhu Qingqing had both killed members of the Demonic Cult, Gui Yuan ultimately said nothing.

Moreover, she was just a nobody who had only broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage today. How could she possibly have a say in front of a Nascent Soul stage demon star or a Golden Core peak demon star?

She was very worried that if she accidentally upset Su Yuan, she would be devoured by this very, very evil devil.

Just as she was trying to remain silent, Su Yuan suddenly turned his gaze toward her.

"By the way, there's still a lot of power stored in the Corrupted Golden Core, which can be used to empower you."

Upon hearing this, the girl, who had always possessed a strong sense of justice, turned pale.

"No...no need, I can cultivate on my own."

She heard from others that if one accepts the initiation of a demon's cultivation, one's body and soul will become out of control, and one will forever fall into the abyss of sin.

"Xiao Yuan, don't be bound by old ideas. There's nothing wrong with using the power of these demonic cultivators as resources to become stronger."

"Only by becoming stronger can you better maintain peace and uphold the justice in your heart, right?"

Su Yuan patiently and skillfully guided him.

After accepting your gift, it's hard to say whether the peace I maintain is true peace or the peace you, Su Yuan, believe in.

Gui Yuan thought about it silently, but didn't dare to say it aloud.

It would be unwise to confront Old Demon Su right now. It would be better to feign flattery, lurk by his side, and monitor his behavior.

With the resolute idea of ​​offering herself to the tiger, Gui Yuan nodded heavily.

The next second, a violent force poured into her body, crashing against her dantian, her flesh, and her mind like a tidal wave.

The girl struggled to withstand this immense power, like a piece of duckweed adrift in a storm.

In just a few breaths, her cultivation level rose from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

The sudden surge of power left Gui Yuan bewildered, even intoxicated.

The feeling of rapidly becoming stronger without any effort was like a poison, making her addicted.

"You will need a week to digest the increased cultivation level. After a week, I will help you advance to the Golden Core stage."

Su Yuan's seductive voice echoed in the girl's ears.

Gui Yuan opened her mouth, wanting to refuse.

The allure of the Quick-Acting Golden Elixir made her swallow her words of refusal.

"Golden Core... Only when I reach the Golden Core realm can I better supervise Su Yuan."

The girl quickly added a sentence in her mind and chose to remain silent.

She briefly processed her surge in cultivation, then took a golden apple from her dantian and asked with some curiosity:
"Young master, may I ask what this is?"

"During the period from the first to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, nine such fruits grew on my spiritual root. Are these edible?"

Upon seeing the golden apple that Gui Yuan had taken out, Su Yuan and Zhu Qingqing exchanged bewildered glances.

No, how could someone who hastily reached the peak of Foundation Establishment produce nine golden apples in a row?
What about all that effort I put into absorbing the demonic energy of the Demon King's Advisor and gradually cultivating the unique supernatural power, Demonic Thunder?
Is the gap between geniuses and ordinary people really that big?

After a moment of silence, Su Yuan ultimately did not covet Gui Yuan's golden apple. Instead, he patiently taught her how to combine the nine golden apples into one and then consume it to obtain the supernatural powers within.

Under Su Yuan's tutelage, Gui Yuan successfully mastered a powerful divine ability of law, the Sacred Word.

This is a unique supernatural power that allows one to speak the law of heaven and promulgate laws that must be enforced to all living beings within a certain range.

Su Yuan had seen this supernatural power both in the shadow of the Holy Law Heavenly Lord and in Gui Yuan's true form.

As for why there are three unique supernatural powers?
One is the original, one is a copy, and one is the illusion version. It makes perfect sense.

Gui Yuan's powerful talent also aroused his expectations.

If we could train this girl to the Nascent Soul stage within a year... cough cough, wouldn't that directly cause the Great Void World to explode, or take away the power of the other three Nascent Soul stage cultivators?

If that's the case, the difficulty of clearing the game will be greatly reduced.

Of course, this is just an unrealistic idea, and it is almost impossible to put into practice.

It's better to focus on the real plans at hand.

"From now on, the Zhuyan Baigu Temple will be under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Sect."

Su Yuan glanced at Zhu Qingqing, who was snuggling up to her grandmaster on the other side, and instructed her:
"Go and spread the banner of the Yuan Sect, let the world know that our Yuan Sect has emerged out of nowhere."

Upon hearing this order, Zhu Qingqing's lips twitched involuntarily, and she said helplessly:
"Boss, I'm the only one left in the entire Zhu Yan Bai Gu Temple. It's exhausting to have me promoting the Yuan Sect all by myself."

Su Yuan said calmly:
"Don't you still have so many puppets? After your fellow disciples are killed, their puppets will all belong to you."

Zhu Qingqing: "But I still have to control so many puppets, so in the end I'm the only one working."

Su Yuan patted the other person on the shoulder and said:
"Bear with it. A Nascent Soul stage body isn't so easy to obtain. If you behave well, I might be able to manifest your grandmaster as well."

Zhu Qingqing immediately stood at attention: "It is our duty to promote the glory of the Yuan religion."

Seeing his spirit scurrying off to clean up the mess, Su Yuan nodded in satisfaction. Indeed, the most important thing for a boss is the ability to make grand promises.

As for whether Zhu Qingqing will harbor rebellious intentions after obtaining a Nascent Soul stage body and a Nascent Soul stage puppet.
Su Yuan had, of course, taken precautions.

—This guy's soul is actually the spirit of the Myriad Souls Banner. As long as I destroy the Myriad Souls Banner, no matter how strong her physical body is, she can only be destroyed by her soul.

Besides, if she were to die, Zhu Qingqing would also have to wait to die in the Great Void World, and everything she had gained would become a dream. How could she dare to let herself die?

Letting Zhu Qingqing go out to work, Su Yuan moved into the old abbot's residence with his maid Gui Yuan to rest.

Three days later.

Thanks to Zhu Qingqing's efforts, news that she had become the new abbot of the Zhu Yan Bai Gu Temple and had surrendered to a new force called the Yuan Sect spread rapidly throughout the Samsara Underworld.

Not only the Zhu Yan Bai Gu Guan, but the Xuan Yin Zong also claimed to have surrendered to the Yuan Jiao and become a subordinate force of the Yuan Jiao.

Both the Xuan Yin Sect and the Zhu Yan Bai Gu Temple are influential forces in the Reincarnation Underworld.

The latter, in particular, ranks among the top ten demonic sects in the Underworld of Reincarnation.

The change of leadership and the fact that the top ten demonic sects became affiliated sects of others is undoubtedly big news.

Just as the major and minor forces in the Samsara Underworld learned of the existence of the Yuan Sect, another bombshell announcement followed.

The Yuan Sect simultaneously declared war on nine demonic sects located in the Reincarnation Netherworld, including the Blood Cloud Sect, the Dark Moon Sect, the Myriad Ghosts Sect, and the Living Array Pavilion, whose strength was comparable to that of the Crimson Face White Bone Temple!
Declaring war on the nine major demonic sects means that the Yuan Sect will have to face at least nine Nascent Soul cultivators, including some powerful individuals at the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

For a time, all the major and minor forces in the Samsara Underworld thought that the Yuan Cult had gone mad.

But what happened next was a slap in the face for them.

In just one month, the nine major demonic sects, including the Blood Cloud Sect, the Dark Moon Sect, and the Myriad Ghosts Sect, fell one after another.

What terrifies many is that after their fall, these demonic sects all suffered a complete loss of half their members.

There are many different opinions about where the other half of the demonic sect cultivators went.

Some say he was made an example of, others say he was sacrificed by the Yuan Cult leader who never showed his face, and still others say he was refined into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner by the Yuan Cult leader.

However, the Yuan Sect is, after all, a demonic sect, so it's understandable that they would do something like this.

What onlookers couldn't understand was that all the surviving cultivators from the nine major demonic sects had forgotten their past hatred and wholeheartedly served as lackeys for the Yuan Sect.

Not only the lower-level demonic cultivators, but even proper Nascent Soul cultivators such as Blood Cloud True Monarch and Dark Moon True Monarch became slaves of the Yuan Sect, risking their lives for it.

This is also why the Yuan Cult was able to grow stronger with each battle, sweeping through the nine major demonic sects.

This led onlookers to suspect that the leader of the Yuan Cult possessed one or more demonic supernatural powers that could distort the minds of cultivators.

After reaching this conclusion, many people couldn't help but feel apprehensive, worried that after the Yuan Cult absorbed all the demonic sects, it would then target the righteous sects.

The Xuan Yin Sect is a prime example.

Amidst the widespread panic, information about the Yuan Cult inevitably rose through the ranks and came into the sights of the Reincarnation Heavenly Lord.

Crimson faces and white bones mark the entrance to the mountain gate, within the main camp of the Yuan Cult.

Su Yuan stared at the silver-white metal rod in his hand, lost in thought.

During this month, he sacrificed half of the lives of the nine major demonic sects, storing their flesh and blood power and cultivation in the Crown of Corruption, and collecting their souls into the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Su Yuan himself wasn't quite sure how many living souls were currently inside the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

All he knew was that among his ten thousand cyber brothers, the lowest rank was centurion.

The living souls of one million demonic cultivators?
I think it should be there.

It also seems that because of the increasing number of souls stored, the level of the Myriad Souls Banner itself has been repeatedly upgraded.

Even now, this magical artifact, which has been with him since his Qi Refining stage, exudes an extremely terrifying aura, no less than that of the Crimson Origin Sword, which has given birth to a complete weapon spirit.

"Has my Myriad Soul Banner transformed into a Nascent Soul Demon Treasure?"

"If this continues, will it one day become a Celestial-grade Myriad Soul Banner?"

Su Yuan muttered to himself.

If the leaders of the nine major demonic sects hadn't already been corrupted by his demonic finger techniques (level 4) and corrupt divine kingdom, turning them into his own property, he really wanted to extract the nine Nascent Soul stage souls and stuff them into the Myriad Soul Banner to see if this treasure could undergo any new changes.

However... even nine Nascent Soul stage souls probably couldn't transform the Myriad Soul Banner into a celestial treasure.

Immortal treasures are designed to rival Nascent Soul cultivators; they can't be obtained by simply accumulating quantity.

Just as I was pondering this, Zhu Qingqing appeared at the doorway, her tone carrying a hint of strangeness:
“Su Yuan, the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation has sent a divine messenger, saying he wants to see you.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately became wary, ready to grab the bucket and run away at any moment.

However, Zhu Qingqing's next words stunned Su Yuan.

"In my opinion, that divine messenger doesn't seem to be here to cause you trouble. On the contrary, he also brought an appointment document personally written by the Heavenly Lord of Reincarnation, which seems to be to appoint you as... the Holy Son of Reincarnation."
