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

Chapter 542 The fiftieth Nascent Soul cultivator has been born! (2.8K)

"I'd say it was a success, albeit barely."

Feeling the changes in spiritual energy within his soul, Su Yuan murmured softly.

He had tried his best to integrate all three thousand Great Daos into his divine soul, but the difficulty of condensing chaotic spiritual power was greater than he had imagined.

Although the cultivation level of the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm is high, it is like a drop in the ocean in the face of the power of chaos.

Under normal circumstances, Su Yuan could still only mobilize the Primordial Spiritual Power. The only difference was that after fusing with the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos, his Primordial Spiritual Power was significantly stronger than that of his fellow Daoist, Wan Chenxin.

However, to utilize chaotic spiritual power, he needs to actively compress the primordial spiritual power again and again in order to barely condense an unstable chaotic spiritual power.

Does this mean the goal has been achieved?

All I can say is, if we calculate it...

However, achieving this within a year is already Su Yuan's limit.

Moreover, even if he wanted to continue to make progress, the chaotic energy he was in was not enough to supply him.

The Boundless Calamity Venerable sat to the side the whole time. Although he couldn't see through what was happening within the chaotic energy, he could still clearly see the amount of chaotic energy.

Therefore, during this period of cultivation, Su Yuan carefully manipulated the chaotic energy, ensuring that it remained unchanged within the sight of the Boundless Calamity Venerable.

But in reality, the interior of this chaotic energy mass has become an empty shell; if it absorbs even a little more, it will be exposed.

Although Su Yuan's strength has increased dramatically, he still lacks the confidence to confront the Boundless Tribulation Venerable head-on.

Let alone that guy's real body, even his clone, the faceless man, he wasn't very confident of winning.

How to sneak away from under the nose of the Boundless Kalpa Venerable is a question.

"By the way, which number of cultivators in the new era have I advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Suddenly, such an idea popped into Su Yuan's mind.

He remembered clearly that once the number of Nascent Soul cultivators reached fifty, the Immortal Tribulation would descend.

I wonder if I, being surrounded by chaotic energy, will be caught in the trap set by the Boundless Calamity Venerable.

At the same time, the head of the faceless man peeked out from between the brows of the Boundless Calamity Venerable, who was backed by a crack in the boundary wall, and said excitedly:

"The true form, the fiftieth Nascent Soul cultivator has appeared."

"Oh? Which world's cultivator is he/she?"

The Boundless Calamity Venerable paused in his actions and asked.

"I don't know for now. I just vaguely sensed that the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in this universe has changed, but I haven't found out where this change came from."

"The faceless man answered."

The Boundless Lord nodded slightly:

"No matter who the fiftieth Nascent Soul cultivator is, the ironclad rule of initiating the Immortal Tribulation cannot be changed."

"Clone, take your men to various great worlds where there are new generation Nascent Soul cultivators to persuade them to surrender."

Faceless Man: "Okay."

As he spoke, he emerged from between the eyebrows of his original form and prepared to leave.

But just then, as if remembering something, the Boundless Calamity Venerable called out to him:
"By the way, those Nascent Soul cultivators of the Blue Star civilization might fight to the end because of Su Yuan's influence."

"To deal with them, we need to take some extraordinary measures..."

As he spoke, the Boundless Calamity Venerable slowly raised his back and reached into the crack in the boundary wall, searching for something inside.

Before long, he pulled out his corroded arm, holding a grayish creature in his hand.

It was a creature that looked very much like a whale, but had no eyes and a more slender body than a whale.

"This is a chaotic creature of moderate strength. I will put it into a special sealing artifact."

"You personally bring this being to Blue Star. If the Blue Star Nascent Soul cultivators are disobedient, release this being and let them experience the power of chaotic beings."

"When they have exhausted all means and find that the blue planet is still inevitably devoured by the chaotic creatures, they may understand my good intentions."

After hearing this, the faceless man chuckled.

"In terms of wickedness, you are more wicked in your true form."

"But isn't this too dangerous? Allowing the power of chaos to penetrate deep into the center of the universe might cause things to get out of control."

The Boundless Lord said calmly:
"It's alright. If there really is a problem, I will go and handle it myself."

"Moreover, the invasion of chaos will come one day. All I have done is postpone the arrival of chaos and act as a fixer for the universe."

The faceless man nodded and said no more.

Wuliang Jiezun shook the sleeve of his Taoist robe with his other hand, and a box that seemed to be pieced together from all the colors of the world fell out.

This is a special container forged by incorporating the power of most of the Great Dao in the world. Although it cannot completely resist the corruption of chaos, it can last for years, enough for the Faceless Man to take the chaotic beings to Earth.

But just as Wuliang Jiezun was about to put the Chaos Whale into the box, the whale, which had been relatively docile, seemed to be stimulated by something. It shook itself violently and broke free from Wuliang Jiezun's hand, rushing towards the chaotic mist next to him.

Fortunately, the Chaos Whale had only just submerged its head into the chaotic mist when the Boundless Calamity Venerable grabbed its tail, pulled it back in, and stuffed it into the box.

Immediately afterwards, the box rapidly shrank to the size of a normal treasure box, and then flew into the Faceless Man's hand on its own.

The faceless man didn't say anything more, turned around and left, disappearing into the edge of the universe in the blink of an eye.

Wuliang Jiezun leaned his back against the crack in the boundary wall again, slowly preparing the five-colored paste in the bronze jar.

Blue Star, Ten Immortal Cities.

Inside the newly built war command center, Chen Nuoyi clocked in for work as usual.

The young woman walked silently down the metallic corridor of the command center. Whenever a staff member saw her, they would stop and greet her respectfully.

"Greetings, True Lord Taiyuan."

Indeed, after three months of special training by the Purple Gold Dragon Lord, Chen Nuoyi successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and was granted the title of Taiyuan True Lord.

Today, she has been a Nascent Soul True Monarch for over a year, and her cultivation has risen to an astonishing third level of Nascent Soul.

Even the Dragon Emperor Golden Core was upgraded. Through the Divine Creation Nascent Soul Method, Chen Nuoyi further merged with the Dragon Emperor Qian, enabling her to advance to the Dragon Emperor Nascent Soul stage.

The reason Chen Nuoyi achieved such remarkable success was not because she worked hard enough, nor because she was particularly talented, but because of the Purple Gold Dragon Lord's life-saving transfer of power.

Having suffered severe damage to his foundation due to being devoured by Wan Chenxin, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord knew that no matter how good the treatment he received, he could never return to his peak.

Therefore, he placed his hopes on his successor.

He used all the cultivation resources he had accumulated over the past 100,000 years, first refining them into the purest power through his own dragon ball, and then infusing them into Chen Nuoyi's body.

In addition, the Golden Dao and the Profound Yellow Dao that the Purple Gold Dragon Lord possessed were gradually stripped from his body and transferred to Chen Nuoyi.

Chen Nuoyi's inner core merged with the Xuanhuang Dao, and her outer core merged with the Jin Dao.

The key points and true meanings of these two great paths were broken down and explained by the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord again and again.

Through this kind of teaching, Chen Nuoyi was able to achieve such remarkable results in such a short period of time.

This should have been a joyous occasion, but upon learning of Su Yuan's disappearance after leaving the pass, his happiness vanished instantly.

In the days that followed, although Chen Nuoyi actively participated in the work of fighting against foreign enemies and quickly rose to a high-ranking position in the Foreign War Department, she never smiled.

Before long, she arrived at the meeting room door, ready to begin the morning meeting as usual.

As soon as she entered the conference room, she saw a pink-haired girl in a dark turtleneck combat uniform waving to her cheerfully.

"Noyi, here you are, I've saved you a seat."

Chen Nuoyi's lips twitched almost imperceptibly. After sitting down in the empty seat next to the pink-haired girl, she reminded her:
“You should address people by their job titles when you’re working. I think you’re just asking to get scolded by your master again.”

The master Chen Nuoyi is referring to here is not the Purple Gold Dragon Lord, but the Wuluo Heavenly Lord, who is also the Minister of the Department of External Warfare.

"Okay, okay, Staff Officer Chen."

The pink-haired girl pouted unhappily.

"General Qi."

"Hey!"

Upon hearing Chen Nuoyi address her by her title, the pink-haired girl immediately perked up and proudly straightened her back.

Chen Nuoyi shook her head helplessly.

She couldn't understand how such a silly, optimistic girl could surpass her own progress in just over a year.

They've actually reached the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Although it's normal for her, with only one Nascent Soul, to advance faster than someone with two Nascent Souls, what truly baffled her was Qi Hanyue's surprisingly high combat prowess.

It was as if she had secretly gone to some interstellar battlefield and worked as a special mercenary for several years.

A yandere killer who kills with an innocent smile—that's exactly the kind of person she is.

If it weren't for the fact that this shocked everyone with her combat skills and command abilities, she wouldn't have become a general at such a young age.

Her two mothers, who were both transformed into deities, would never give her such a favor.

Before long, Wu Luo Tianjun arrived at the head of the meeting room, and the morning meeting officially began.

Half an hour later, the work of each department was arranged, and the morning meeting ended.

After all the senior executives left, Chen Nuoyi held Qi Hanyue's hand and remained seated.

The girl looked at the red-haired mature woman in the main seat and asked softly:
"Master, is there still no new news about Su Yuan?"
