Chapter 362: Chapter 361: The Enigma of Magical Increase and Dao Dissipation (First Release, Please Subscribe)
On top of the pavilion, towering above, forged from azure white jade.
Standing atop the pavilion, overlooking from a height, one can see many of the sceneries of Purple Sun Mountain.
There are low level Qi Refining Cultivators walking among the spiritual fields, tending to the Spirit Rice, Spirit Medicine, and so on; there are Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Medicine Garden looking after the Spirit Medicine and tending to the Spirit Trees; some cultivators are drawing Talismans and carving Talisman Soldiers; some Alchemists are refining Elixirs, with the furnace fire burning and emanating a scorching aura;
Other cultivators are traveling around, repairing various Arrays.
On Purple Sun Mountain, there are thousands of large and small Arrays.
The high-level cultivators look down on handling those low-level Arrays, so they’ve engaged some Second Grade Array Masters and Third Grade Array Masters to participate in the repairs.
Some cultivators are in their Cave Mansions in closed cultivation, striving to break through to a new realm.
In the distance, there is a gigantic Marketplace.
Within the Marketplace, there are formal shops selling Elixirs, Spiritual Artifacts, Spirit Medicine, etc., with prices generally higher than outside, yet quality absolutely guaranteed;
Some cultivators set up small stalls outside, selling various herbs and Elixirs at generally lower prices, though quality cannot be assured. The quality, good or bad, is no one’s responsibility after the transaction.
It depends on one’s vision.
If one’s vision is good, they might find some excellent goods, rare items; but if luck is poor, they’d only get some inferior or fake goods.
Overlooking the people below, Lu Xuanji felt a different sensation, speaking about some events encountered outside.
"Outside, the Demon Cultivators are rampant, killing everywhere, but unfortunately, the Golden Core Cultivators are busy and have no time for these issues!"
"The Demon Dao is also a kind of Heavenly Dao," True Monarch Qinglian said, "When the number of mortals in the world increases, and the number of cultivators increases, there will be a rise of demons and a decline of Dao, with Demon Dao forces becoming strong, various Demon Cultivators emerging endlessly, and the Demon Dao line giving birth to some top giants, while the Right Path line becomes weak."
"Conversely, when the number of mortals decreases, and the number of cultivators decreases, there will be a rise in Dao and a decline of demons, with the Right Path forces growing stronger and Demon Cultivators diminishing."
"The three major Sects of the Chu Country can only suppress the Demon Cultivators, forbidding Golden Core Demon Cultivators from killing recklessly. As for Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivators and Purple Mansion Demon Cultivators, if they slaughter civilians, Law Enforcement Hall cultivators or others will intercept and kill them. Life and death are fated."
"Demon Cultivators tread the path against the heavens, naturally despised by heaven and earth, with fierce Celestial Tribulations, but once they survive the tribulation, their Karmic Force disperses, and they gain the Heavenly Dao’s recognition."
"It’s just thinking of the Blood Demoness escaping makes me uneasy!" Lu Xuanji said, "Have previous generations never thought of eradicating the Demon Cultivators in Yue Country?"
"It’s almost impossible to eradicate Demon Cultivators!"
Feeling this question is laughable, but True Monarch Qinglian still patiently answered, "Demon Cultivators may be suppressed, but they cannot be annihilated. Because the path of Immortal Dao is too difficult, requiring superior Spirit Roots, top qualifications, and excellent resources to continue, which also requires a lot of resources!
The threshold of Immortal Dao is high, unfriendly to Five Spirit Roots, Four Spirit Roots, Three Spirit Roots. But the Demon Dao has low requirements for Spirit Root talent, consumes fewer resources, as long as you’re brave, willing to fight and kill, while dangerous and with a high mortality rate, there’s still a slim hope!"
"With the existence of Yue Country, which can accommodate a large number of Demon Cultivators, Chu Country is relatively stable. If Yue Country were destroyed, and Demon Cultivators spread across Chu Country, causing chaos, that would really be troublesome!"
"Moreover, no matter how bad the Demon Cultivators are, they are also human cultivators who can help humanity resist the Demon Race."
"Additionally, some Demon Cultivators are also establishing order and rules. In Yue Country, the three major Demon Sects are friendly to ordinary people and low-level cultivators within their territory, which is called ’rabbits don’t eat the grass at the edge of their burrow.’"
"Some Demon Cultivators use substitution methods to cultivate Demonic Techniques! For example, the White Bone line uses Demon Beast bones to cultivate Demonic Techniques; the Blood Demon line uses the blood of Demon Beasts to cultivate Demonic Techniques; even the Joyful Union Demon Vein seeks Furnaces consensually, with Spirit Stones or seductive beauty as enticements, thus being reasonable in general."
"Even many Immortal Dao Cultivators cannot find many faults!"
"Moreover, after reaching the Golden Core stage, many Demon Cultivators no longer slaughter low-level cultivators but instead focus on some high-level cultivators, significantly reducing the world’s destruction!"
True Monarch Qinglian spoke, sharing the stories of the Seven Veins of the Demon Dao.
Immortal Dao Cultivators have high requirements for talent; Demon Dao Cultivators have low requirements for talent.
Many cultivators with poor talent, poor comprehension, poor Spirit Roots, and scarce resources are actually more suited to follow the Demon Dao.
The Demon Dao cannot be eradicated, so it’s better to appropriately limit its development, attracting some Demon Dao Cultivators to Yue Country, thus reducing the number of Demon Cultivators in Chu Country to some extent.
"Recently, do not go out. Focus more on closed cultivation and comprehending deeply, entering the Golden Core Ninth Transformation, then speak of other matters!"
Lu Xuanji nodded and disappeared.
...
Entering the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji began a deep closed cultivation.
The Eighth Grade Tree of Time, what a treasure, even Harmonization strong beings might not acquire it, yet it fell into the hands of a mere Golden Core junior, what a creation, what grand destiny.
The withered tree underwent Nirvana and transformation, exhausting his destiny.
Now, his destiny is underestimated and not suitable for going out, better to stay at home in closed cultivation for now.
Operating the Cultivation Technique, [Pure Yang Scripture] is in operation, strands of Pure Yang True Flame are roaming throughout the body, forging the flesh and the five viscera and six bowels, expelling strands of black impurities from the body; the body is slowly transforming towards a Flawless Treasure Body, the potential is being elevated.
[Yin Yang Transformation] is in operation, continuously comprehending this technique, no longer limited to Yin Yang Dual Cultivation, but comprehending the changes of Yin and Yang within the human body, the cycling dynamics of Yin and Yang Qi within the body.
Within the body, the mysteries of innate five grandness are being evolved.
[Nine Transformations of Fish and Dragon] is in operation, the anomalies behind are changing, sometimes with Pure Yang Great Sun rising, sometimes with Thirty-Three Heavens changing, sometimes with Azure Dragon fighting the demons, sometimes with Immortal King descending anomalies, various anomalies constantly changing, continually revolving between life and death.
Also operating [Creation Technique], the Golden Core is continuously circulating, like a golden sun burning, refining Spiritual Qi into pure Magical Power.
Numerous cultivation techniques operating, continuously circulating life and death, cultivation steadily increasing.
After ten years, Lu Xuanji stepped into the Golden Core Seventh Transformation.
After the Seventh Transformation, the Golden Core felt full, as if an infant was being nurtured within the Golden Core.
Now, there is already the possibility of impacting the Nascent Soul.
