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

Chapter 550 When you are carrying a heavy burden, there is always someone who makes life peaceful for you.

At the very center of the Xuancang Realm stands a celestial mountain shrouded in dense clouds and mist.

This immortal mountain is extremely magnificent, occupying almost one-tenth of the Xuancang Realm. It is covered with countless rare treasures, and its spiritual energy is the most abundant in the world.

Therefore, the summit of this immortal mountain is the cultivation ground where five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuancang Realm secluded themselves for cultivation.

Today, five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuancang Realm gathered at the Daoist temple of the Azure Cloud Heavenly Lord to welcome a guest who had traveled from afar.

Inside the open-air pavilion, Qingyun Tianjun personally poured spiritual tea for a travel-worn, unshaven young cultivator sitting in the main guest seat.

The young monk was wearing a slightly worn, blood-red robe.

It seemed that because he hadn't changed his clothes for years, the bloodstains on his robes had faded considerably.

The young man's eyes were weathered and his appearance unkempt, but one could easily tell from his facial features that he was once a dashing and unrestrained wanderer.

However, even though the young cultivator looked somewhat disheveled, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Xuancang Realm dared not underestimate him.

Because the powerful cultivation emanating from this person was stronger than any of the five Nascent Soul cultivators, and much stronger.

If the other party hadn't been without hostility, merely wanting to come in and ask for a drink of water, the Xuancang Realm might have encountered its most powerful enemy in history.

"Senior, may I ask where you come from and where you are headed?"

"Qingyun Tianjun asked."

His tone wasn't wary; on the contrary, it was quite curious.

After all, since achieving the Nascent Soul stage, Qingyun Tianjun had no other pursuits. He spent his days drinking, making merry, and composing poems with his companions.

He had never explored what lay beyond the world, nor dared to venture there.

After all, for Qingyun Tianjun, who was used to a good life, the outer space was too cold and lonely, and he had no desire to explore it.

As the saying goes, "appearance reflects the heart." It is precisely because of this laid-back mentality that the five Nascent Soul Heavenly Lords, despite being quite young—in fact, practically lolis among Nascent Soul cultivators—have aged and now appear as middle-aged people.

Now that a visitor from outer space has finally arrived, the five Heavenly Kings naturally have endless questions to ask.

Looking into the clear yet foolish eyes of these five juniors, the young cultivator sighed.

The people of the Xuancang Realm live such good lives that they have no worries whatsoever.

"Fellow Daoists, I have come here for only one purpose: to warn you that the situation of all cultivation civilizations in the universe is about to undergo a dramatic change!"

"Your carefree life now is about to be completely destroyed."

"Therefore, I hope you can enter a state of emergency combat readiness as soon as possible to prepare for any possible enemy attack."

The young cultivator spoke solemnly and in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this irrelevant answer, the five Nascent Soul cultivators were like five silly roe deer who knew danger was approaching but still stood there blankly, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"No way."

Qingyun Tianjun laughed:

"Senior, you're exaggerating. Everyone is living a perfectly fine life, so how could there be any fighting?"

The young cultivator remained silent for several seconds before finally speaking:
"Only the Xuancang Realm enjoys peace and tranquility. In places you cannot see, many cultivation civilizations have been fighting wars for hundreds of years."

"At the same time, as the number of cultivators in the universe increases, the various resources in the universe are also becoming increasingly scarce. Soon, someone will step forward and carry out a major purge of the entire cultivation world."

The five Nascent Soul cultivators from the Xuancang Realm were still confused.

What is resource scarcity?

What is war?

What is the Great Purge?

Young cultivator: "..."

It truly proves the old saying: when you are carrying a heavy burden, there is always someone riding on your back, enjoying a peaceful life.

If the cultivators of the Xuancang Realm don't deeply experience the horrors of war and the Boundless Tribulation Venerable, they probably won't have much will to resist. But how can we make these foolish deer realize the seriousness of the situation?

"By the way, senior, I haven't yet asked your name."

"That's what Qingyun Tianjun said."

Young cultivator: "..."

These silly roe deer really didn't listen to what I said; it went in one ear and out the other.

He shook his head and said:
"I no longer use my real name. You may call me the Heavenly Lord of Corruption."

"The Heavenly Lord of Corruption? Isn't that a great senior from the ancient cultivation world?!"

Beside Qingyun Tianjun, a beautiful young woman nearing thirty had a gleam in her eyes, looking every bit like a fangirl.

Just as the Heavenly Lord of Corruption opened his mouth, about to say something, a cold and mocking voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire Xuancang Realm.

"I am the Venerable of Immeasurable Calamity, and I will soon launch the Great Calamity of Chaos. The only ones who can survive this calamity are Nascent Soul cultivators who are willing to submit to me."

"You junior Nascent Soul cultivators, why don't you quickly welcome your future master?"

Upon hearing that voice that he would never forget, the expression on the face of the Corruption God changed drastically.

"The fiftieth Nascent Soul cultivator has already been born? That's too fast, it's caught us off guard."

"Judging from this tone, the newcomer should be an avatar of the Boundless Calamity Venerable... But what difference does it make to me between an avatar and the original body?"

In an instant, such a thought flashed through his mind.

At the same time, he also realized that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Xuancang Realm would be his final resting place.

However, the five Nascent Soul cultivators of the Xuancang Realm did not realize what their shouts meant.

Qingyun Tianjun said unhappily:
"Hmph! The Xuancang Realm has welcomed quite a few guests today!"

"But such rude people are not welcome in my Xuancang Realm."

He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the assembled immortals and said:
"Please sit here and I will be right back."

Having said that, Qingyun Tianjun leaped into the air and rushed toward the direction from which the sound came.

"Don't see me off..."

The Heavenly Lord of Corruption said with a speechless expression.

Qingyun Tianjun: "Don't be a coward? Don't worry, I understand."

The Corruption-Transforming Heavenly Lord: "..."

He glanced at the other four silly roe deer and said:

"Don't just stand there, let's go take a look. Qingyun Tianjun will be in trouble if he faces Wuliang Jiezun alone."

The beautiful young woman blinked and said:
"No way, Fellow Daoist Qingyun is the strongest among the five of us. We always lose to him when we spar."

"According to the ancient texts we have unearthed, a Nascent Soul cultivator should be the pinnacle of the cultivation world. How could anyone defeat him so easily?"

Hearing this utterly idiotic statement, the Corruption Lord felt like his head was about to explode.

How on earth did these idiots manage to reach the Nascent Soul stage?

They were drooling as soon as they were cured.

Let alone the Boundless Calamity Venerable, even I could easily defeat all five of you in a short time if I wanted to.

But there was no other way; he had to help out the younger generation, no matter how foolish they were. Even the weakest Nascent Soul cultivator was still much stronger than a Core Formation cultivator.
