The Quest for Immortality

The nature of the Demon Sect is completely different.

Ever since Mo Hua entered the Qian Learning State Boundary, he often followed the Taoist Court to mix reward hunts, and now he distinguishes these monstrous evil demons more clearly than before.

Sin Cultivators refer to cultivators who have violated Taoist Law.

These cultivators might be righteous cultivators themselves, practicing righteous cultivation techniques, but due to selfish acts, or impulsive actions, committed crimes like murder, theft, pillaging, defilement, or replenishing from others, thus becoming wanted by the Taoist Court.

Sin Cultivators roam in gray areas, mostly indistinguishable between righteous and evil by their cultivation techniques.

There are even some Sin Cultivators who have committed murder or broken the law, as long as they find ways to deceive others and put themselves under a pretentious identity, they can still live glamorously in front of people. .

The premise is that their crimes remain undiscovered.

And the Taoist Court cannot trace them.

The nature of Evil Demon Cultivators is even worse, and they can be distinguished by cultivation techniques and Taoist skills.

Evil Cultivators refer to those who in their cultivation have strayed or fallen into deviation, learning certain Demon Path Skills and spells.

Evil Cultivators transform from righteous to evil, mostly acting alone.

Occasionally gathering, they still act independently, only temporarily coming together, as their cultivation technique and Taoist skill systems differ.

Demon Cultivators are different.

They gather with a clear purpose, a unified head, and commit evil acts systematically and with organization.

And the inheritance of these Demon Cultivators is also systematic, practicing the same kind of demon skills, nurturing the same evil artifacts, employing the same origin Taoist skills.

The inheritance system of the Demon Path is the clearest difference between Demon Cultivators and Evil Cultivators.

Mo Hua didn’t initially take this to heart, but later on, after more contact, he found Demon Path cultivation techniques somewhat peculiar.

He then consulted Gu Changhuai as well as some enforcement leaders from the Taoist Court who were at the frontline capturing Demon Cultivators, only then understanding the sinister and terrifying aspects of the Demon Path inheritance system...

No matter righteous or evil, Tao Cultivation requires ”resources”.

The cultivation resources for righteous cultivators are Spirit Stones.

The cultivation resources for Demon Cultivators are people.

Or rather, ”people” are the Demon Cultivators’ ”Spirit Stones”.

Righteous cultivators rely on their own efforts to extract and refine spiritual energy from Spirit Stones; although slow, it steadily progresses towards the Great Dao, one step at a time in cultivation.

This process is righteous, but dull, laborious, and too slow.

Thus, Demon Cultivators tread another path, to kill, to rob, to seize the blood qi and spiritual power arduously cultivated by others.

This cultivation method is faster, and the killing power is stronger.

But once reaching a certain extent in Demon cultivation, there will be a bottleneck.

That is, relying on one’s own power for killing, robbing, and seizing, the progress is still too slow.

Hence, some powerful Demon Heads develop ”downlines”.

These Demon Heads pass their cultivation techniques to several disciples, sending these disciples out to kill, rob, and absorb blood qi and spiritual power for them.

The absorbed blood qi and spiritual power are partially digested by the disciples, but most are ”offered” upward to the Demon Head.

Because the demon cultivation techniques of demon disciples are bestowed by the Demon Head, the progression of their cultivation, the strength of their Taoist skills, even their life and death, are all controlled by the Demon Head.

They have no choice but to submit.

And if the Demon Path disciples under the Demon Head wish to become stronger, they must independently develop ”downlines” again.

They must take disciples, transmit skills, then absorb spiritual power and blood qi from their disciples, gradually becoming stronger.

The disciples’ disciples again pass down...

Layer after layer below, the wider the transmission of demon skills, the more numerous the Demon Sect disciples, the greater the influence, the more ”blood qi” and ”spiritual power” absorbed from righteous cultivators.

Thus, the original Demon Head Ancestor, receives more offerings, and his cultivation naturally becomes stronger.

This is the ”skill transmission” system of the Demon Sect.

There might be exceptions in this system, but it generally remains unchanged.

Layer upon layer of exploitation and oppression, layer by layer blood-sucking, spiritual energy absorption, layer upon layer of offerings upward.

The endpoint of Evil Cultivators is the skill-transmitting Demon Cultivators.

The endpoint of Demon Cultivators is the skill-transmitting Demon Sect.

And the endpoint of the Demon Sect is the Great Demon Hall, commanded by the Demon Monarch, reigning over billions, nurturing countless ”blood slaves” and ”spirit slaves”, consuming people to their marrow, monopolizing everything...

This is the secret Mo Hua discovered through combining sect classics and asking around everywhere.

Of course, now the Taoist Court is united, promoting righteousness, slaughtering Demon Cultivators, and burning all demon path cultivation techniques and classics.

”Great Demon Hall” such a thing has already been obliterated in the long river of Cultivation World history, rarely mentioned anymore.

But as long as human nature has greed, anger, and obsession, there will be demons.

Demon Cultivators are hard to eliminate completely.

The skill transmission style of the Demon Sect has naturally survived.

Moreover, compared to the gray Sin Cultivators, the solitary Evil Cultivators, and the ordinary Demon Cultivators who are a mixed bag.

The Demon Sect with a certain scale, inheriting the same origin, structured closely, like a plague, capable of spreading through ”skill transmission”—

Even a small Demon Sect has stronger organizational power, greater destructive force, and higher danger...

”Recently emerging in the Qian Learning State Boundary is a Demon Sect practicing blood-related demon skills.”

”The Demon Cultivators in the Demon Sect will consume cultivators’ flesh and blood, and have already committed three major crimes: exterminated a second-grade small family, a small village outside of Immortal City, and during a cultivator gathering, nearly a thousand cultivators...”

Gu Changhuai’s expression was solemn.

Mo Hua also frowned.

”Not only that,” Gu Changhuai said, ”these Demon Sects are also developing ’downlines’, spreading demon skills, further expanding influence. The difficulty for the Taoist Court to handle also continually increases...”
