I Have A Cultivation World

Xie Yuntian, who served as the head of the Sword Training division, had extensive experience in Magic Duels. After inspecting the battlefield, he quickly identified a doubtful point.

“No, it’s just that the opponent’s strength is far too great, making his resistance seem feeble.”

However, Zheng Deming presented a different opinion.

Having killed for nearly a century in the Cloud Dream Ze, he was even more familiar with various traces of battle.

“Could it be Kong Lingling?!”

Upon hearing his words, the name surfaced in the minds of the remaining three.

The only one they could think of, who could render Yu Lian — a cultivator in the midst of Foundation Establishment, who had been by Chen Mobai’s side for many years and received Sword Dao teachings — unable to resist, was none other than this Golden Core Cultivator from the Snow-blowing Palace.

“There’s a demonic qi of Earth and Fire Spiritual Power at the scene. It must be a top-ranked demonic beast.”

But after Zheng Deming employed a secret technique and re-examined the traces of battle, he came to another astonishing conclusion.

“The top-ranked demon beasts in the Eastern Wilderness should have been cleared out by our major factions. Could it be one that slipped over from the Land of Ruins?”

Quan Shanlin furrowed his brows. Although the Snow-blowing Palace wasn’t as strong as their own factions, they had been operating on this territory for thousands of years; it seemed impossible for high-tier demon beasts to still exist.

“Let’s search the vicinity. Junior Brother Yu Lian’s Soul Lantern hasn’t shattered yet. We hope to rescue him before the demonic beast consumes him.”

Yue Zutao made a suggestion, which none of the other three opposed.

Soon, Zheng Deming discovered traces of demonic qi that hadn’t yet dissipated in the snow, indicating that the beast had captured Yu Lian and fled in a certain direction.

Could it be the beast’s hidden lair?

After realizing this, Zheng Deming didn’t act rashly; instead, he immediately called the other three over.

“If it’s a third-order demonic beast, the four of us might not be able to take it down.”

Although Xie Yuntian was very confident in his combat abilities, he knew that the gap in major realms could not be bridged simply by numbers.

“It could also be a second-order demonic beast at perfection. After all, Junior Brother Yu Lian is only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. He couldn’t handle such a demonic beast.”

Hoping for the best, Quan Shanlin proposed a possibility. However, the others, being cautious, no longer planned to charge in undeterred, knowing the enemy might be a third-order demonic beast.

“We should notify True Person Fu and Elder Brother Meng.”

The only plan now was to gather nearby Golden Core forces.

Once Xie Yuntian spoke, his suggestion was unanimously approved.

…

Northern Abyss City.

Chen Mobai had waited a long time and finally received a visit from Ye Qing!

“Oh, to think that there’s a Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering hidden in the Land of Ruins!”

Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel shocked upon hearing Ye Qing state the purpose of his visit.

The Demon Sect of Beast Gathering was also one of the eighteen sects of the Demon Path, initially composed of cultivators who betrayed the Human Race and served the demonic beasts.

This lineage, which began as ordinary, had at its highest a Nascent Soul old demon until they took in a half-demon.

The half-demon was born accidentally; his father was an elder from a Human Cultivator family, and his mother was a demon race concubine captured by his father.

The existence of the half-demon was initially disguised, but as he grew, his half-human, half-demon traits became impossible to hide.

After the Eastern Emperor Court became aware of this, they immediately sent experts from the Hall of Ten Directions to annihilate his entire family.

Yet, they allowed the half-demon to escape.

Rejected by the Human Race, the half-demon fled East Land, journeying to East Li, where he was discovered by an elder of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering and taken in as a disciple.

The motivations of a Magic Daoist Monk were naturally nefarious.

The half-demon endured all manner of experiments; potent bloodlines from various demonic tribes were infused into him to see if his human body could endure and refine them. The aim was to allow Human Race cultivators to maintain their rapid cultivation speeds while also harnessing the Demon Tribe’s Innate Divine Abilities.

Finally, after surviving repeated near-death transformations, a peculiar balance was established in the half-demon’s body between the eight royal demon beast bloodlines infused and his own mother’s tribe’s blood. He then evolved into a nine-headed, nine-tailed Demon God Body.

After the metamorphosis, the half-demon immediately devoured his own master.

Three hundred years later, the half-demon’s Demon God Body reached perfection, and he also cultivated the Demonic Cultivation of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering to the unprecedented Spirit Transformation Stage. Combined with nine different Innate Abilities, he possessed extensive Divine Skills and boundless Mana!

Upon achieving perfection in his cultivation, he proclaimed himself the Nine-Headed Great Saint, united the Demon Path with the Eight Great Demon Royal Courts, and began a protracted war with the Eastern Emperor Court.

The Human Emperor led the charge in person, and both sides faced off at the border for eight hundred years.

In the final epic battle, the Nine-Headed Great Saint unleashed all nine Great Divine Powers. Although he killed the current Human Emperor, he was also beheaded by Huashen Zhenjun of the Jiutian Dangmo Sect with the Tai Peacekeeping Sword and fell into the vast unknown.

This battle was also the most ferocious decisive battle between the Human Race and the Demon Race!

Aside from the death in battle of that generation’s Human Emperor, the Eastern Emperor Court also lost two Hall Masters of Divinity Transformation from the Hall of Ten Directions and a Huashen Zhenjun (Deity-Transcending True Monarch) of a Holy Land fell.

On the side of the Demon Race, three of the Eight Great Demon Royal Courts vanished forever, and two Demon Dao Gods perished in this battle. Almost half of the top-ranked cultivators in the Eastern Region died on this frontier battlefield.

That was why the heritage of the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering, even on the side of East Li and the Demon Race Royal Courts, caused those who heard of it to pale in fear.

No one wanted to experience such a dreadful war ever again.

However, the Nine-Headed Great Saint of that time was unanimously acknowledged as first in Divine Powers, first in physical strength, and first in the robustness of Mana.

Everyone desired the inheritance he left behind.

Every time it emerged, it stirred up a storm of blood and gore in the Tianhe Realm.

Although it was uncertain if the Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering had the inheritance of the Nine Dragons Great Saint, Jiutian Dangmo Sect always adopted the policy of better to kill wrongfully than to let go.

After all, the Nine-Headed Great Saint had been slain by their ancestors, and if another Nine-Headed Great Saint were to emerge in the situation where the Eastern Emperor Court had already scattered like stars and clouds, they, Jiutian Dangmo Sect, would certainly be the first to be targeted for revenge.

“Do we know the cultivation level of this devil cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering?” Chen Mobai asked immediately after realizing the gravity of the situation.

“He used to be a Nascent Soul, but Elder from our sect had slain his original body. Now hiding in the Land of Ruins, is his pre-refined Heavenly Demon Avatar; his true body awoke and was reborn after death. It’s not clear what tail he is following, but after chopping off ninety percent of his Essence, Divine Sense, and True Spirit, it’s impossible for him to re-condense a Nascent Soul.”

After hearing Ye Qing’s explanation, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised.

He had not expected that on this side of the Tianhe Realm, there would also be something akin to transmigration and reincarnation techniques similar to those of dismemberment.

However, it seemed not as precise and perfect as the Antiquity Daoist System from the Immortal Gates, as the reborn Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator from the Demon Sect of Beast Gathering could only cultivate up to Perfect Core Formation.

No wonder Jiutian Dangmo Sect had sent out Ye Qing.

To someone like him, hailed as a prodigy, there were no longer any enemies in the Golden Core Realm.

Indeed, only a Devil Cultivator who once was a Nascent Soul could make him feel pressure on his sword.

This mission might just be his last tempering before Nascent Soul Formation.

Realizing this, Chen Mobai’s expression grew solemn, and he spoke righteously, “If there is anything I can help with, please just ask, True Person Ye. Our Five Elements Sect may not be very powerful, but here in the Eastern Wilderness, our words still carry weight.”

“I was about to ask for Sect Master Chen’s help. The Land of Ruins is vast, with many places even retaining ancient topographies and home to many groups of Demonic Beasts. Although I fear not, I would rather not waste too much Spiritual Power before I confront the Devil Cultivator, so I hope Sect Master Chen can lead the cultivators of the Five Elements Sect to escort me for part of the journey.”

Ye Qing came today precisely to seek help, and with Chen Mobai speaking, he seized the opportunity to lay out his request.

“I will issue a decree to gather an army of cultivators from the Five Elements Sect to escort True Person Ye.”

Chen Mobai inwardly sighed, knowing he couldn’t avoid this request. When Jiutian Dangmo Sect asks for assistance, no sect in the entire Tianhe Realm would dare decline.

After all, this was a task of demon eradication.

If declined, who knows if this Holy Land might use that refusal as an excuse to teach a harsh lesson later.

“Sect Master Chen, may I know how many cultivators your sect can dispatch? I will bear the cost of the Spirit Stones.”

Fortunately, Ye Qing also knew the rules well. Hearing Chen Mobai’s straightforward agreement, he immediately showed a slight smile, indicating he would sponsor all expenses of this escort mission.

“I need to preside over Northern Abyss City, and recently there’s been a surge of Demonic Beasts in Cloud Dream Marsh, so Disciple Nu Jiang and two Golden Core powerhouses of my Wood Vein can’t leave either. Brother Mo is in seclusion, and Fu Shixiong is also in Snow Country overseeing the unification of the Mortal World…”

Chen Mobai immediately laid out the facts for Ye Qing, and after calculating, realized that only Zhou Ye and Sheng Zhaoxi of the Earth Vein could act.

“Isn’t there also True Person Zhou Shengqing in your sect?”

Ye Qing suddenly interjected with a question.

“Brother Zhou attempted to expedite his Nascent Soul breakthrough last time and rushed too eagerly; he’s still recovering and truly unable to make a move.”

Chen Mobai immediately offered the excuse he had ready.

Considering Ye Qing’s status, he definitely wouldn’t know Zhou Shengqing’s situation. It was probably Yu Hai from Sun Bathing Sea who had informed him, possibly to use Ye Qing’s mouth to probe whether Zhou Shengqing was dead or alive.

After all, Zhou Shengqing had previously made a show of Golden Core-strength with his reverse Longevity Technique.

But it had been many years, and he had always been in seclusion without showing his face, which had started to arouse the suspicions of the neighboring great powers paying attention to the Five Elements Sect.

It was convenient now to use Ye Qing to probe the situation.

Chen Mobai’s response was meticulous, expressing that Zhou Shengqing was still alive but injured; if he showed Nascent Soul strength after coming out of seclusion, it meant he had recovered.

Ye Qing didn’t mind, as in his view, it was practically impossible for Zhou Shengqing, a Golden Core Cultivator who grew up in the Eastern Wilderness, to achieve Nascent Soul.

“After the army is prepared, please notify me, Sect Master Chen. I am staying at Wu Business Pavilion.”

After saying these words, Ye Qing turned around to leave.

“True Person Ye, I greatly admire East Land and wonder if I could have the honor to ask you about the local customs and culture of East Land.”

Chen Mobai immediately called out to him; this was a genuine core figure from the central regions of the Eastern Region, a cultivator from the Eastern Earth Holy Land.

He just so happened to want to inquire about the “First Origin Dao Palace!”
