Rising from Small Cloud Rain Technique

After the demon cultivator left, Chen Daochang squatted down and reached out to close his clan brother’s unwilling eyes.

He looked down at the ground with a frown, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

The air was silent, with an inexplicable emotion fermenting within it.

After a long time, Chen Xingzhou could no longer bear the silence and spoke:

“Clan Leader, what should we do next?”

The demon cultivator left no means to control them; he merely had them practice the Celestial Demon Transformation Scripture and refine the essence blood.

But he knew that from now on, they could no longer integrate into the human race’s forces, and they could only walk down a dark path.

The identity of a demon cultivator was slightly better than that of a demon lord, but still, they were figures whom everyone wanted to eliminate.

The Western Continent had carried out a centuries-long campaign to exterminate demon cultivators, and the ancestors of the Chen Clan of Pu Yun Mountain were originally loose cultivators who established their family here due to their merits in slaying many demon cultivators.

Now, the only two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Chen Clan had become demon cultivators, a true irony!

“Huh?”

Chen Daochang responded blankly, having not registered the entire conversation.

“Clan Leader, I’m asking what we should do next?” Chen Xingzhou repeated.

Instead, Chen Daochang asked:

“Xingzhou, now that the two of us have become demon cultivators, what are you planning to do in the future?”

At this moment, his mood was very complex, full of mixed emotions.

After refining the demon beast essence blood, he surprisingly felt his late-stage Foundation Establishment realm starting to loosen!

As a family cultivator who rose by exterminating demon cultivators, he knew very well what a demon cultivator was.

Although demon cultivators aimed to achieve the form of a great demon, they could also use the methods of human race cultivators, manipulate magical artifacts for attacks, and they had more abundant lifespan.

Demon cultivators were exterminated by the united cultivators because their minds easily transformed like demon beasts.

If the Celestial Demon Transformation Scripture really had only a minimal effect on the mind, it would not be a disaster but rather an opportunity, a huge opportunity!

Why do humans cultivate? Ultimately, it’s to have a longer lifespan and greater strength.

If not affected by the instincts of demon beasts, demon cultivators might become mainstream.

Chen Xingzhou was silent for a moment and then softly said:

“I will follow the Clan Leader’s orders.”

After many years together, he clearly understood the Clan Leader’s habits. When the latter asked such questions, there were definitely other considerations.

Chen Daochang opened his mouth, but ultimately, he did not voice his thoughts.

“Tomorrow, let’s announce the death of Daoxi. You will be in charge of arranging the funerals for many clan members.

I will select a batch of qualified Qi Refining disciples who understand patience and secretly send out half, and find an opportunity for the other half to join the Golden Spirit Sect.

The clan’s bloodline cannot be severed in my hands.”

…

Xiong Ba arrived near a secluded cave, glanced around for a while, and then entered the cave, clasping his hands and saying:

“Master Cyan Dragon, the matter is settled.

Among the three Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Chen Clan, two succeeded in refining the Fire Ape Essence Blood, but the other one, due to aging and depleted vitality, died during the refinement process.”

After speaking, he stood with his head lowered and hands hanging down, waiting quietly.

Master Cyan Dragon revealed a faint smile, “A success rate of over sixty percent is quite good. This indicates that the Chen Clan’s bloodline is highly suitable for refining Fire Ape Essence Blood. Record this information.”

He had selected many Foundation Establishment cultivators to refine demon beast essence blood, and the average success rate was less than thirty percent.

“I have already recorded it.”

Xiong Ba replied, then cautiously asked:

“Master, our treasured demon beast essence blood is almost depleted. What shall we do next?”

For the past few months, they had infiltrated many clan territories, coercing over a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators to refine demon beast essence blood.

“Next, we do nothing. We wait for the human and demon beast forces to exhaust each other. Only then will we have the opportunity to bring the Celestial Demon Alliance to the forefront.

In the meantime, you and Black Hawk are responsible for hunting potential demon beast races to extract essence blood.”

“I understand, but what about these newly joined cultivators, should we just leave them be?”

“Do not worry about them for now. Once these cultivators realize the wonders of the cultivation technique, they will naturally be willing to work for us.”

…

Bear’s Mouth Mountain is located over eight hundred miles northwest of the Golden Spirit Sect, where there is a Tier One Middle Grade Spiritual Vein.

In the Spiritual Vein, there is a small cultivation clan.

This clan was established for only over sixty years, possessing one Foundation Establishment cultivator, more than eighty Qi Refining cultivators, and over two thousand mortals, equivalent to a small town.

At this time, the small town was silent, with the central square densely packed with corpses.

All the corpses had blackened foreheads and faces showing extreme fear.

A middle-aged man in a black robe with a goatee was performing a sacrificial refinement on a black banner.

Three demon lords flew around the square, continuously devouring the mortals’ souls.

“Haha, my Soul-Devouring Banner is finally about to succeed.”

The man laughed arrogantly, his face particularly ferocious.

The Soul-Devouring Banner is an extremely sinister demonic magical artifact, extracting the spirit souls of Foundation Establishment cultivators to form demon lords through continuous torment.

These demon lords can continuously consume the souls of living creatures, growing indefinitely in theory.

However, demon lords grow fastest by consuming human souls, and since low-tier cultivators and ordinary people are severely restrained by demon cultivators, this is the main reason demon cultivators like to target humans.

Soon, all the souls were devoured completely by the demon lords.

The man moved his fingers in demon techniques, and the demon lords shrank continuously, eventually being absorbed into the black banner.

On the originally empty black banner, three ferocious demon lords appeared.

“Hehe, let chaos reign, only then can I quickly enhance my cultivation.

The man put away the black banner and took out a pitch-black, pill-furnace-like object.
