This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

High-grade Mystic Artifact?

This wait lasted for five minutes.

[Yi Luoluo: Look, look! I'm going to be invincible! I'm going to be the number one Golden Core cultivator in the fourth district!]

【Yi Luoluo: 【Heartwood Demonic Art】】

"The number one Golden Core cultivator in the Fourth District? You weren't asleep... Heartwood Demonic Art?!"

Jiang Liu scoffed when he saw the first message. In another month, my Nine-Turn Golden Core will be completed. What makes you, a mere early Foundation Establishment cultivator, think you can catch up with me?

But when he saw the prop that Yi Luoluo had sent in the second message, his eyes widened in surprise, almost popping out of their sockets.

Heart wood magic power? !

Holy crap, where did she get that demonic power?

Jiang Liu looked completely bewildered and subconsciously tapped the Heartwood Demon Art in the chat box.

Don't look at it, look at it!

With just one glance, he knew why the players in Zone 3 had improved their cultivation level so quickly, and he also knew why their combat strength was so weak.

[Heartwood Magic Skill]

[Grade: High-Grade Dharma Grade]

[Attribute: Cultivation Speed ​​+200%]

[Upgrade Requirements: Consuming 100 million spirit stones will advance you to the lower-grade Xuan rank]

Jiang Liu: "!!!!!!!"

A high-grade demonic cultivation technique that increases cultivation speed by 200%!

Are you kidding me?

He was completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at the attributes of this demonic skill. A sudden feeling of heartache arose in his heart, like someone who had painstakingly spent money to level up only to be betrayed by a regular player.

A high-grade magic-based cultivation technique increases cultivation speed by 200%. How much does my low-grade profound-grade "Entering Purity and Transforming Spirit Technique" increase cultivation speed?

Oh, I remember now, add 40%.

In other words, a high-grade demonic cultivation technique can kill a low-grade orthodox cultivation technique five times more effectively.

Is this reasonable?

I did say before that I was going to plan to strengthen the Demonic Path, but I didn't say I would strengthen it this much!

[Yi Luoluo: Isn't that awesome?! Isn't that awesome?!]

[Yi Luoluo: Hahahaha, I'm about to take off! I'm going to upgrade it to the High-Grade Profound Rank! I'm going to become the number one Golden Core cultivator in the Fourth District!]

[Yi Luoluo: I'm a student, big brother, can you lend me 500 million spirit stones?]

Jiang Liu ignored Yi Luoluo, then took screenshots of the Heartwood Demon Art and his own Pure Spirit Transformation Technique, before opening the customer service function with a dark face.

Your most esteemed VIP players are angry!

[Jiang Liu: [Heartwood Demonic Art] [Entering Purity and Transforming Spirit Technique], why is it that demonic cultivation techniques are several times stronger than righteous cultivation techniques? This is unreasonable! I want to file a complaint!]

[Squeak: ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

[ZhiZhi: Honey, I know you're angry, but please don't be. I'm not entirely sure what you're asking either. Should I pass this on to someone else?]

[Jiang Liu: Yes! Call your leader out!]

[ZhiZhi: The transfer fee and the leader's appearance fee total 18888 spirit stones.]

This conversation has been transferred.

[ZhaZha: Hello, I'm very sorry, but the righteous gods in Heaven do not accept demonic cultivators for their positions. In fact, the Immortal Realm has long since stopped accepting demonic cultivators for ascension and realm breakthroughs. Therefore, I cannot answer your question.]

[Chatter: This customer service representative reminds you that your future is bright and promising, and a divine position is within reach. Please do not go astray.]

Jiang Liu: "......"

Huh?

What are you talking about? Don't think that I won't get angry just because you praise me a couple of times. You won't explain the difference between demonic and righteous cultivation techniques, so your praise won't help!

"Demonic cultivators aren't allowed to ascend? Can't demonic cultivators become immortals?"

Jiang Liu was utterly bewildered after seeing the customer service representative's reply, and he was completely baffled.

No?

During the cross-server event, I saw players from all three servers emitting black smoke. Don't they know that demonic cultivators are not allowed to ascend?

If they can't ascend to immortality or become gods or immortals, then why do they even bother falling into demonic ways?

It's all for the sake of speeding up the cultivation of demonic techniques, it's all for the sake of leveling up.

Whether or not I can ascend to immortality, let's have some fun first?

I'm completely baffled, I don't understand, and I'm utterly perplexed.

Although he didn't understand what demonic cultivators were all about, the customer service representative's two sentences immediately suppressed his desire to fall into demonic ways.

He wanted a cultivation speed of 200%, or even 300%, 500%, or 1000%!

But if they won't grant ascension or a divine position, then so be it.

My future is bright and promising, my future is promising, my divine position is in sight, I am only 0.1% of the original, do I have any need to fall into demonic ways?

He finally understood why the average skill level of players in Zone 3 was so high.

Although it opened only half a year earlier than the fourth district, the third district already had hundreds of Golden Core players and countless Foundation Establishment Great Perfection players. This progress surprised him greatly.

You should know that he has been taking drugs to level up all the way, and he is only at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment now. Under the premise of refining the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, it will take him at least five months to break through to the Golden Core stage.

For other players, it's already quite good if their second Golden Core appears six or seven months after the server opens, which is much slower than the progress in server three.

I couldn't understand it before, but now I do.

So all the players in Zone 3 have fallen to evil!

The spiritual energy emanating from those figures emitting black smoke—isn't that the mark of a demonic cultivator?

If you have a demonic cultivation technique that grants 200% faster cultivation speed, even a dog practicing it will surpass the cultivation speed of players in the fourth server.

This is no longer about aptitude; it's about the difference in skill levels.

Moreover, it not only has a 200% increase in cultivation speed, but also allows the absorption of spirit stones to advance demonic cultivation techniques.

With enough money, a 1000% increase in cultivation speed is no problem!

Those top Golden Core cultivators in the fourth district, especially those in the mid-to-late Golden Core stages, should have probably upgraded their demonic cultivation techniques to the Spirit Rank by now, right?

I dare not even think about it, I envy it, I'm tempted, but I can't.

The future is promising for righteous cultivators, while the future is bleak for demonic cultivators. They must not stray onto the wrong path!

Jiang Liu remained steadfast in his Daoist resolve, his heart set on righteousness and goodness unmoved. He shook his head, banishing the allure of demonic techniques from his mind.

He resisted the temptation of demonic cultivation techniques, but someone in the sect had already fallen for it, including an extremely important member.

[Yi Luoluo: Sect Master? Big Brother? Boss? Please, lend me 500 million spirit stones!]

[Yi Luoluo: Where is everyone? Say something!]

[Yi Luoluo: You're not afraid I'll steal your title as the first Golden Core cultivator, are you? If it's really too much, I can bear with it and be the second Golden Core cultivator.]

[Jiang Liu: If you come to the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace and help me find a high-grade Xuan-level damage set, I'll lend it to you.]

Jiang Liu: I'll lend you 5 spirit stones.

[Yi Luoluo: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ]

[Yi Luoluo: Okay, it's better than nothing. I'm coming right now!]

Should we tell her the truth?

Jiang Liu frowned slightly. If he told Yi Luoluo that demonic cultivators could not ascend or become celestial officials, would she burst into tears on the spot?

It seems very likely.

Sigh, that's why I say, young people are just young people, their resolve in the Dao is too weak, they still have a lot to learn.

He waited a few minutes, but instead of receiving an invitation from Yi Luoluo's Big World, he received a private message from her.

[Yi Luoluo: It's over. On my way to the Ghost Face Demon Palace, I was instantly killed by a righteous NPC. I'm so angry! Why did he attack me first?!]

Because you are a demonic cultivator!

Demonic cultivators brazenly roam the cultivation world; if righteous NPCs don't kill them, who will they kill?

Jiang Liu replied with a speechless expression.

[Jiang Liu: You'd better stay away. You're just a Foundation Establishment early stage cultivator; any random NPC could kill you instantly.]

[Yi Luoluo: I'm supposed to hide in my own big world? Are you kidding me?]

[Yi Luoluo: Waaaaaah, I got instantly killed again! When did so many NPCs appear in this world?!]

[Yi Luoluo: There are still twenty miles to the Ghost-Faced Demon Palace. I refuse to believe... I'm dead again.]

[Yi Luoluo: Oh no, something's happened! All the NPCs I've encountered are red-named. What should I do?]

[Yi Luoluo: Sect Master, 999999.]

In just a few minutes, Jiang Liu watched as Yi Luoluo was killed several times by righteous NPCs. He wanted to laugh, but felt it would be a bit impolite.

After falling into demonic possession, all the righteous NPCs in the world turned into red names?

Interesting, this setting is awesome. The difficulty for fallen demon players in the open world has become hellish. They can no longer appear openly in the open world and can only eke out a living underground like demonic NPCs.

They also had to evade the attacks from the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

Ahahahaha!

Sorry, I just couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Liu: Pull me up, I'll come pick you up.
