Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

Chu Xiu focused his mind, and a line of prompts appeared in his mind:

[Congratulations on entering the King Tier. This stage will be crucial for deciding your future path and development direction.]

[At the beginning, you will receive six fundamental cultivation techniques at once. Besides this, you will not receive any Divine Techniques; your only task is to advance toward the Golden Core Realm.]

[The six fundamental cultivation techniques will enhance your basic attributes and grant you special powerful traits. The special effect of the Infinite Reincarnation Technique allows you to continue to accumulate ”excess Experience Points” after reaching full level at this stage. ”Excess Experience Points” can enhance the grade of your Core Formation.]

This prompt led Chu Xiu into deep contemplation.

Six fundamental cultivation techniques? Experience Points can accumulate?

The latter is indeed good news because of Chu Xiu’s formidable strength, his experience is often wasted.

Although accumulating experience at the King Tier is challenging, he is confident of quickly reaching level nine. However, he certainly will not rush into the trial as soon as he reaches full level; doing so would inevitably result in massive experience waste, just like the previous four tiers. But now, he need not worry about this.

But what about these fundamental cultivation techniques...

Chu Xiu sank his consciousness, suddenly feeling his vision blur. By the time he realized it, his consciousness had already fallen into a void space!

At this time, six figures stood in front of him.

Before he could react, the shadow on the far left moved forward. In an instant, the scene changed, and Chu Xiu saw a figure as towering as a planet walking amidst the universe. This astonishingly gigantic being, with a simple grasp, crushed a planet with its palm. The terrifying aura trembled through the galaxy, and the life on the surrounding life planets all prostrated in fear and trembling.

This was the true might of a God! Even knowing it was an illusion, Chu Xiu couldn’t help but feel immense fear, finding himself lacking even the courage to face such a creature.

Fortunately, at this moment, the illusion dissipated, and the shadow retreated among the six.

Chu Xiu had a vague realization; upon entering the King Tier, each inheritance branched into two paths, further refining the cultivation direction.

Although the main cultivation technique was still the Infinite Reincarnation Technique, choosing different roads would lead to gaining different Divine Techniques in the future.

The demonstration was of the body cultivation path of the Supreme Innate Divine Demon lineage. Cultivating it to the extreme could transform one into a gigantic Ancient God, capable of destroying planets with a wave, and having an indestructible body, able to regenerate from a single drop of blood!

At this moment, the second figure stepped forward, and the surroundings changed again. This time, before Chu Xiu lay a burning star, at the center of which sat an apparition amidst nuclear fusion temperatures reaching millions of degrees Celsius. His terrifying spiritual power extended outward, covering the entire star system!

”This is another path of the Innate Divine Demons, which is to abandon the body and use it merely as nourishment, channeling all the energy to the soul to cultivate an indestructible Primordial Spirit. It is the ultimate evolution of the Void God Mode, representing a true deity, capable of blooming a flower with a thought, and determining life and death with a thought.”

Then, the remaining four paths successively appeared before Chu Xiu.

The Supreme Demon Ancestor splits into the Soul Banner and Corpse Refinement paths. These two paths involve differences far beyond just the summoned creatures; they have significant differences in corresponding Divine Techniques and even the cultivation of the main body.

As for the Duo Bao Demon Venerable, it splits into the Artifact and Array paths.

At this time, Chu Xiu also faintly understood that although these six paths seemed vastly different and distinct, fundamentally they were divided into two types: one inclined towards the body and the other towards the spirit.

For instance, to enhance the power of the ghosts in the Soul Banner and to set up arrays and a myriad of Sword Arrays, extremely strong spiritual power is necessary.

Whereas driving corpse refinement and amplifying artifacts requires a massive amount of mana stored within the body.

Chu Xiu stroked his chin, pondering which path he should choose.

According to his own inclination, it would naturally be to cultivate all six paths, as he did before.

However, according to the information in his mind, each of these six paths is a supreme path leading directly to the Dao, requiring resources and energy reaching an incredibly terrifying amount!

In the low tiers, Chu Xiu might be able to manage, but now that he was preparing for Core Formation, attempting to cultivate all six paths might even exhaust the heritage of eight Celestial Kings!

”For now, even if I really want to cultivate all paths, I can only choose one side between the body and the spirit, focusing on three paths; this should be about the limit, as the expenses for cultivating all are indeed too high!”

Chu Xiu is not an unrealistic or overreaching person, if it’s exceedingly difficult, he would not hesitate to abandon the less prioritized paths.

After pondering for a while, he still couldn’t make a decision, opting to proceed with cultivation and experimentation before ascertaining further.

Once his resolves were set, the surrounding illusions faded, and simultaneously, the inheritance methods of the six paths were unlocked, ready for Chu Xiu to browse and cultivate at any time.

Although the inheritance process of the King Tier seemed lengthy, in reality, it transpired in a single thought. When Chu Xiu returned to reality, he just happened to see Meng Xuanshu descending from afar.

”Congratulations Qin brother,” Meng Xuanshu said with a smile, as if the conflict between the two earlier did not exist at all.

Chu Xiu glanced at him coldly and said, ”If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to struggle so hard.”

”I also have a mission on me, I hope Qin brother understands,” Meng Xuanshu said with a smile, ”Besides, the Abyss is fair, although I caused a lot of trouble for you, Qin brother, this will also greatly increase your subsequent settlement rewards.”

”Moreover, the Abyss has always harbored malice towards geniuses. Even without me, civilization envoys from other top civilizations would descend.”

”Oh.” Meng Xuanshu’s words made Chu Xiu raise an eyebrow. He initially thought it was bad luck that brought him face to face with a top civilization envoy, but now it seemed it was indeed more likely a deliberate arrangement by the Abyss.

Shaking his head, Chu Xiu decided not to dwell on it and said, ”You promised earlier, if I won the bet, you would answer my questions.”

Meng Xuanshu smiled and said, ”Didn’t we tear up the bet long ago? But for talents like you and I, we are likely to meet again in the Abyss in the future. If you, Qin brother, are willing to forget past grievances, I wouldn’t mind sharing some information.”

Chu Xiu understood the underlying meaning of the other’s words. He wasn’t a petty person, so he immediately said, ”Rest assured, Brother Meng, I am not someone who doesn’t understand the situation. Grudges from the trials will stay within the trials.”

Meng Xuanshu nodded and said, ”That’s good. Now, what does Qin brother wish to ask? As long as it’s not a secret of my civilization, I will tell you all that I know.”

Chu Xiu thought for a moment and frankly said, ”Could Meng brother introduce me to the civilization structure of the Abyss?”

This question left Meng Xuanshu stunned for a moment, then made him say somewhat incredulously, ”Qin brother, are you truly a native of a low-level civilization and haven’t interacted with any civilization envoy?”

Chu Xiu knew that if he wanted to ask for valuable information, it was certainly something he couldn’t hide, so from the beginning, he didn’t plan to conceal it. He simply said calmly, ”To say I never interacted wouldn’t be true, but certainly not as intimately as you might imagine, Brother Meng.”

Upon hearing this, Meng Xuanshu showed a knowing expression and gave Chu Xiu a deep look.

”In that case, let me just provide you with a complete piece of information.”

With that, he gently pointed, and a stream of information surged into the air, captured by Chu Xiu’s Divine Sense, feeding a large amount of information into his mind.

This made Chu Xiu marvel once again at the mystery and power of top civilizations, a glimpse revealed from such trivial matters. The King Tiers on their Blue Star could only transmit sound secretly, but Meng Xuanshu could directly transmit information into others’ minds. When he was being controlled earlier, he could directly communicate with Aurora from over miles away—these secret techniques embodied their foundation.

With no more thoughts, Chu Xiu closed his eyes and carefully perused the information Meng Xuanshu had given him.

After a while, when he opened his eyes, he had a general understanding of the structure within the Abyss.
